Summary
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.
About Thai
The Thai is a moderate, old-style Siamese with a muscular medium build, blue eyes, and low-maintenance pointed coat. Social, vocal, and intelligent, it craves daily interaction, play, and climbing. Generally healthy, it may face PRA, HCM, and dental issues, so regular vet care is important.
