Breed Overview

Essentially a Siamese in a different coat, the Oriental Shorthair comes in over 300 different colours and patterns. They possess incredibly large, bat-like ears.

Temperament

Just like their Siamese cousins, they are highly vocal, loudly demanding your attention. They are exceptionally athletic and social, thriving better in pairs.
