The Oriental Shorthair cat can be an extraordinarily devoted and loving companion. More than anything else, they want a person, or family, to whom they can give their wholehearted devotion.
The Oriental Shorthair is a solid colored Siamese. From the beginning, breeders of pure Siamese saw the occasional solid colored kitten, frequently a deep seal brown.
