Orientals have their foundation in the Siamese breed but represent a diverse group of cats. After the Oriental Shorthair was accepted for championship status in 1977, it has become one of CFA’s most popular breeds. While the breed's genetic roots are ultimately in Thailand, it was developed mainly in the US.

All color patterns and combinations are accepted. The Oriental is talkative and opinionated. They have a load meow and expect you to pay attention to them. Orientals are extremely close to their people. They will follow you around and supervise your every move. Orientals love company.

Be sure you have time to spend with this demanding and social cat. Orientals become highly attached to their people. The Oriental will greet you at the door and honestly believe everyone visiting is there to entertain and see them. Orientals do not like being left alone for long periods, and if you work during the day it can be smart to get two of them so they can keep each other company. If you need to leave for a short trip or holiday it is better to have them boarded. The Oriental is very intelligent and athletic, and loves to play. You should keep him toys and his body exercised with teaser toys that he can chase and a big cat tree he can climb. He is fully capable of opening doors and drawers or rifling through your purse in search of something interesting to play with.

The short coat of the Oriental Shorthair is easily cared for. Comb it every couple of weeks with a stainless steel comb or soft bristle brush to remove dead hair, then polish it with a soft cloth to make it shine. Keep the Oriental’s litter box spotlessly clean. Cats are very particular about bathroom hygiene. It’s a good idea to keep an Oriental as an indoor-only cat to protect him from diseases spread by other cats, attacks by dogs or coyotes, and the other dangers that face cats who go outdoors, such as being hit by a car. Orientals who go outdoors also run the risk of being stolen. They are quite different and draw attention to them easily.

Since Orientals do not like solitude in-home cat boarding is the best solution for them when you're away. Our caregivers will keep her company and spend quality with your cat. We love cats, your cat will be the only pet in the apartment. Book now your next cat boarding service, we'll be glad to help you.

I am the co-breeder of the cinnamon Oriental you have pictured in your article. The photo is copyrighted by Helmi Flick, professional photographer.
Orientals and Siamese differ greatly in personality. Siamese pick one person as their favorite and only tolerate others. Orientals love everyone!
