CLEAR ALLThe Oriental Longhair is a sleek and elegant breed with oriental features and a long, plumed tail. They are bright, active, agile, and, as relatives of the Siamese, they are known to be pretty vocal! They are exceptionally curious and clever, so they will keep you on your toes! If you’re looking for a devoted, interactive feline that’s full of personality, the Oriental Longhair is a great choice for you.
This breed has a very outgoing and affectionate nature. You will never be bored with one of these felines in your home! They thrive on attention but are also highly intelligent so they can be taught a variety of tricks and games if you devote enough time to their needs. These cats demand attention, so they are best suited to homes where someone is around for most of the day. Otherwise, they tend to get into all sorts of trouble when they get bored.
These cats have very short but soft coats and a slender, muscular build. They are excessive heat-seekers so you will often find them curled up on your lap or even under the bed sheets with you at night.
Oriental Longhairs are not best suited to families or couples that enjoy the quiet life. But, if you are yearning for a playful, fun-loving, energetic, friendly companion, the Oriental Longhair makes a great choice. Unlike many other cat breeds, they are not generally wary of strangers. In fact, they will often jump from lap to lap, revelling in the attention. They also get on great with children and other pets.

Oriental Longhairs are not best suited to families or couples that enjoy the quiet life.

In fact, they will often jump from lap to lap, revelling in the attention. They also get on great with children and other pets.
Oriental Longhairs are medium-sized cats weighing between 8 and 12 pounds (3.5 to 5.5 kg). Their bodies are sleek and slender yet muscular, reflecting the breed's oriental heritage and giving them an agile and athletic look.
They have long legs with small, oval paws and an elongated neck. Their triangular heads are long, with large ears and wide-set, almond-shaped eyes. Most Oriental Longhairs have green eyes, but they can also be blue.
The breed's most striking feature is its luxurious coat, which is flowing and silky, adding to its graceful look. Although the fur is long, it lies flat, so it doesn't appear fluffy like many other longhaired breeds. Their tail is their only fluffy body part, which fans out like a plume.
An Oriental Longhair's coat can come in various colours, but the most common are fawn, chocolate, black, smoke, and tortoiseshell.
Oriental Longhair cats are known for being lively, intelligent, and affectionate, just like their short-haired siblings and Siamese cousins.
These cats are highly social and enjoy being the centre of attention, so if you're not actively interacting with them, they will seek you out and do what it takes to get your attention.
Despite their slightly demanding nature, Oriental Longhairs are irresistible thanks to their affectionate personality. They form strong bonds with their owners and make extremely loyal companions. As one of the most vocal cat breeds, you can expect your Oriental Longhair not just to greet you when you get home but to tell you about their entire day through a variety of chirps, trills, and meows.
In fact, many Oriental Longhairs come to learn the difference between all the sounds their cat makes. They typically use a specific noise to express a particular need or desire. For example, they might use a loud meow to express hunger and a trill as a friendly greeting.
Oriental Longhairs are playful, energetic, and curious. They will explore each inch of their environment, including the tops of wardrobes and behind the fridge, and they can't resist investigating any new sight, sound, or object they encounter.
Their energetic nature means they adore playtime, so you'll need plenty of interactive toys and puzzle feeders to occupy this kitty.
Their intelligent and social nature makes Oriental Longhairs well suited to busy homes where multiple people can fuss over and interact with them. They also get along well with children, so they do well with large families. In fact, kids make excellent play buddies for Oriental Longhairs, helping to prevent boredom and loneliness.
Oriental Longhairs dislike being left alone for long periods and can develop separation anxiety. For this reason, they are not a good fit for people who work long hours or are out of the house for the majority of the day.
Oriental Longhairs are highly adaptable felines who get along well with other pets, making them a good choice for households with other cats or dogs. Having a four-legged friend can also help fulfill an Oriental Longhair's social needs.

Neo

We had some concerns purchasing a kitten online but our experience with The Pedigree Paws was great. They connected us with Caroline, the Russian Blue breeder and we had many conversations and received multiple pictures and videos. She answered to all our questions.
The Pedigree Paws verified for us all the vaccinations and health checks to make sure our new kitten was 100% healthy.
Thank you for all your help The Pedigree Paws! Highly recommended!
Jack
Miniature Dachshund
One of the reasons I was hesitant to order a puppy from The Pedigree Paws is because I live in Spain. However they connected me with a very good FCI breeder in Barcelona.
He showed me all the health documents of both parents, their pedigree and answer to all my questions. I am so happy they helped me to find a healthy puppy as finding one by myself was very overwhelming. Contacting The Pedigree Paws was the best decision and I highly recommend them to everybody!

Athena
Chihuahua
It's been a few months since we decided to find a Chihuahua puppy to join our family, however we had issues finding a good breeder.
We contacted The Pedigree Paws and they connected us with a very unique breeder in Greece. Many videos and pictures were shown, the breeder shared with us the proof of vaccinations, deworming and her 5 generation pedigree. We were fortunate as George, the breeder was able to deliver the puppy to us personally. We are very pleased with our beautiful Athena. Thank you, The Pedigree Paws, for being truthful and transparent.
