Oriental Longhair

Newest Review: ... were pink with little hair (he had black fur) and I wondered if they would ever get enough hair to be black like his body. Pink chin, blue eyes that slowly changed to green. Long and lankly with that long, bushy tail that stood straight up. I thought of Pepe Le Peu (? the cartoon skunk from years ago) until I realised it was that tail! Always straight up with pride. He was regal, so he ... more

The cat that stold my heart, Rags. I got him from a pet rescue and the lady that had him said he was the last of the litter. She kept him in the back so people would have to select the other cats instead of Rags. He was a wonderful "dog cat," that unfortunately died from kidney disease a month ago at age 14 years. Still too young but gave me such wonderful memories and friendship. I wasn't sure what he was at first, but somehow I stumbled on the oriental longhair cat websites and found the descriptions--and one photo that looked identical to Rags. I bought him when he was 4 months old and what who would have known this ... Read the complete review

It has come to my attention that there are a lot of animal lovers out there, and I believe that cats are now outnumbering dogs in the most popular pet charts! I am therefore going to tell you about my experiences with my own cat, Cleo. As Cleo was rescued, we didn't know her exact breed, but after much research, decided that she was an Oriental shorthair with brown-ticked tabby markings. There are many different appearances of this breed, but they all have the same basic body shape and characteristics. I have found that a lot of people mistake them for Siamese as they have a Siamese background. Before I relate my personal experiences, I wil give you some ... Read the complete review

"Luna" is a white and chocolate long-haired Oriental with blue eyes. My wife bought him from a street-side vendor in Jakarta, Indonesia, 18 months ago, in the hope that he would kill the rats. He was still young but fully grown and was easy to befriend. He was also fully house-trained and has never done any damage or made a mess. Luna is no ratter. In fact, he has several times watched with mild curiosity as a rat scampered across the kitchen. Like most tom cats, he sleeps for about 16 hours a day and is extremely lazy even when awake. He is free to wander in and out of the house as he pleases and seems instinctively to know where home ... Read the complete review
