Breed traits and characteristics

The 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.

10 reasons to add a Oriental Longhair to your family

Oriental Longhairs are incredibly loving and enjoy being close to their humans. They'll curl up on your lap or snuggle beside you, providing endless affection and companionship.

Oriental Longhairs love to interact and play, making them perfect for families with children. This is a pet that will guarantee plenty of entertainment and fun!

Oriental Longhairs don't just entertain their owners but anyone who enters the house. If you're throwing a dinner party, they will confidently greet and entertain every guest, relishing in the extra attention.

Known for their sharp minds, these cats can learn tricks and commands quickly. With proper training, you can teach an Oriental to fetch, sit, or walk on a leash.

If you live alone and dislike the eerie silence, get an Oriental Longhair! Known for their charming voices, they'll meow, chirp, or trill to communicate with you.

Orientals love to scale high places, so you'll frequently catch them perched atop the fridge or scaling the curtains.

Like dogs, Orientals love to welcome you at the door when you arrive home. They will greet you with a friendly meow and shower you with affection, brightening up your day without fail.

Although they have long, beautiful coats, Oriental Longhairs have silky fur that lies close to the skin, meaning it rarely tangles and doesn't require excessive care. All you need to do to keep their coat in top condition is brush them once a week.

With their elegant, flowing coats, striking eyes, and distinct oriental features, Oriental Longhairs are a visual delight. If you're looking for a cat that stands out from the crowd, this is it!

Once an Oriental Longhair bonds with you, they'll remain a loyal and devoted friend no matter what. They will follow you around the house, ensuring you never get lonely.

Meet the Oriental Longhair

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.

The temperament of an Oriental Longhair

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.

Best homes for an Oriental Longhair

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.

FAQs about the Oriental Longhair

We firmly believe kittens should be raised in loving family homes alongside their mother, so we exclusively partner with breeders who follow this approach. We do not work with commercial breeding facilities, as we are committed to combating illegal pet farms and unethical practices.
By supporting only licensed, responsible breeders who prioritize the well-being of their cats, you can trust that your Oriental Longhair kitten was raised in the best possible conditions.

An Oriental Longhair could be the right kitten for you if you're looking for a playful, affectionate, and intelligent furry friend. These cats thrive on attention and love to be involved in family activities, making them great for families where they'll receive plenty of love and interaction.
Oriental Longhairs require lots of physical and mental stimulation, and they can become bored or even anxious if left alone for extended periods. So, this breed may not suit you if you prefer a more independent or low-maintenance pet.
Moreover, they can be very vocal, so they may not be the best choice if you like to maintain a calm and quiet living environment.

We understand that there are concerning stories about unethical breeders and agencies, which can understandably make you wary of the pet breeding industry. At The Pedigree Paws, we prioritize building trust and transparency by partnering exclusively with licensed, reputable breeders.
When you choose an Oriental Longhair kitten from us, you can be confident that you're receiving a purebred kitten, backed by official registration documents proving their pedigree. Our commitment to quality and integrity is reflected in the many success stories from satisfied customers, which you can explore on our testimonials page.

Yes, we are fully committed to ensuring that every Oriental Longhair kitten we offer is 100% healthy and free from hereditary diseases. Our breeders must follow our strict health protocols, which includes carrying out comprehensive veterinary checks.
Additionally, we conduct DNA testing on the kitten's parents to confirm they are free from genetic mutations that could be passed on. Moreover, your Oriental Longhair kitten will come microchipped and fully vaccinated.

To ensure that kittens do not develop health or behavioural issues, we keep them with their mother until they are at least 8 weeks old. However, for the best start in life, we recommend that kittens remain with their mother and siblings until they are at least 10 weeks old.
Therefore, we allow our breeders some flexibility to adjust the timing within these parameters, ensuring the kittens' well-being is always the top priority.

Absolutely! We're happy to arrange a video call so you can meet the kitten's parents virtually. We offer this option to ensure transparency and give you peace of mind about the well-being of your new kitten and its parents, as well as to demonstrate our commitment to ethical breeding practices.

Yes, every Oriental Longhair kitten on our platform comes with internationally recognised pedigree documentation from reputable organisations such as GCCF, TICA, and FIFe. These documents confirm your kitten is 100% pedigree and free from breed-specific hereditary diseases. You'll receive the documents with your new kitten, and the specific organisation will depend on the breeder's location.

Yes, we partner exclusively with the most reputable breeders across the UK and Europe. These breeders adhere to the highest animal welfare standards international organisations set, alongside our rigorous breeder selection process.
We strongly emphasise ensuring that all our breeders treat their kittens as cherished family members, not as products to be sold. This commitment guarantees that your new Oriental Longhair kitten will be healthy, well-socialised, and embody the delightful traits of this exceptional breed.

We do not collaborate with commercial breeding facilities that isolate kittens in cages away from their mother and littermates. Such environments often lead to neglect, health problems, and stunted development.

Instead, we partner exclusively with breeders who raise their kittens in a family home, alongside the mother and siblings. In this nurturing environment, kittens receive the care, attention, and socialisation they need to thrive. The close human interaction they experience also helps them adapt smoothly to their new families, ensuring a healthy transition to their forever homes.

Oriental Longhairs are known for being confident, social, and adaptable. Even so, because they are still young, they may be a little wary, so it's essential you support them during this transition.
One way you can do this is by asking the breeder to send a towel or blanket that carries the scent of the mother. Mother cats release pheromones that provide a sense of comfort and security to their kittens, so we find having their mother's scent helps the kitten feel safe in a new environment.
Additionally, we suggest keeping your new Oriental Longhair kitten in one room for the first couple of days. This will allow them to adjust at their own pace and prevent overwhelm. Once they seem settled and confident, you can gradually introduce them to the rest of your home.
