Summary
About Australian Mist
Australian Mist cats are medium, sturdy indoor companions with a short, soft, misted or marbled coat. Calm, affectionate and people‑focused, they suit families, apartments and multi‑pet homes. They need moderate play, simple weekly grooming and routine vet care to stay healthy into old age.
About Oriental Short Hair
Oriental Shorthairs are elegant, athletic cats with a Siamese‑type body, large ears and a sleek, low‑maintenance coat in many colors and patterns. Highly social, vocal, playful and intelligent, they crave daily interaction, mental stimulation and close companionship with their people.
