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 Sphynx
The Sphynx is a medium, muscular, mostly hairless cat with suede‑like skin and visible wrinkles. Highly sociable “velcro” cats, they crave constant company, play, and warmth. They need regular skin, ear, and nail cleaning and do best as indoor pets with attentive owners.
