The American Shorthair (ASH) is a breed of domestic cat believed to be descended from European cats brought to North America by early settlers to protect valuable cargo from mice and rats. According to the Cat Fanciers' Association, in 2012, it was the seventh most popular pedigreed cat in the United States.

The American Shorthair is a pedigree cat breed with a strict conformation standard set by cat fanciers of the species and the North American cat fancier associations such as The International Cat Association (TICA) and the Cat Fanciers' Association.

According to the CFA, American Shorthairs are low-maintenance cats that are generally healthy, easy-going, affectionate with owners, and social with strangers. Males are significantly larger than females, weighing eleven to fifteen pounds when fully grown.
