Summary
About Oriental Long Hair
Oriental Longhairs are elegant, longhaired relatives of the Siamese, with slim, athletic bodies, wedge heads, and large ears. They have silky, easy‑care coats in many colors, are intelligent, playful, very vocal, people‑oriented, and thrive on active, interactive homes.
About European
A curious, playful and adaptable shorthaired cat with a sturdy, agile body and a natural appearance. The European has roots in Europe’s original cat population and enjoys both family companionship and quiet time alone. It needs daily play, opportunities to climb and scratch, and a safe home environment. Its coat is easy to care for, and each cat’s temperament and experiences determine how well it gets along with children and other animals.
