CLEAR ALLOriental Shorthairs are slender cats with graceful features and a coat that comes in a rainbow of colours, with up to 300 colour combinations. They are part of the Siamese family and are bright, agile, and vocal. They are very active, sophisticated and colourful cats in every sense. They are perfect for individuals interested in an interactive and devoted feline companion.
Oriental Shorthairs have a very affectionate nature and bond deeply with their families and individuals of all ages, including children, other cats and cat-friendly dogs. They love attention and affection and are frequently seen beside their human companion.
They like to be of "assistance" to any family member and follow them throughout the day. They also like warm places, so can usually be found sitting on the lap of their human companion during the day and cuddling under the sheets with family members at night.
Oriental Shorthairs are known to be "chatty" cats. They demand love and attention and tend to get into mischief if they are left alone for long periods. Thus, they may not be the best fit for you if there is rarely someone at home.
These welcoming cats are active, intelligent, friendly and playful. Many enjoy playing a game of fetch with their human companion while others entertain themselves with an empty cardboard box. They are known to remain kitten-like all their lives as they do not grow out of their love of playing. These energetic cats also excel at feline sports agility and are very interested in training.
Oriental Shorthairs are known to show affection to everyone and love a party where they giddily jump from lap to lap, purring and asking for pets. Moreover, the social Oriental Shorthair is excellent with kids, other cats, and dogs.
These felines crave attention and love to cuddle and sleep in a pile with their cat buddies or under the covers with their human companion. They are not ideal for people who want to live a quiet life and have a cat to stay still and look cute.
The Oriental Shorthair is frequently included on lists of cat breeds that are 'hypoallergenic.' Though no cat breed is accurately hypoallergenic, Oriental Shorthair does produce less of the Fel D1 protein that is accountable for triggering cat allergies.

The Oriental Shorthair’s unique appearance makes them instantly recognizable. They are medium-sized and weigh between 8 and 12 pounds once fully grown. Their bodies are long, slender, and athletic, and their legs are long, too, giving them a wildcat look.
They have wedge-shaped heads with almond-shaped eyes, long noses and prominent cheekbones. Their extra-large ears are undoubtedly their most distinctive feature, though. The structure of their faces can sometimes make them look standoffish, but their friendly personality is quite the opposite. Their eye colour may be green, blue, gold, or yellow.
As their name suggests, these felines have a short and sleek coat and come in various colours and patterns. They may be a solid colour or have bicolour, smoke, marble, or tortoiseshell patterning. The most common shades are brown and grey, but other possible colourings include black, cream, tan, lilac, orange, and white.
Like their Siamese Descendents, Oriental Shorthair cats are social, active, and super friendly. The Siamese’s loudness has also passed down to these kitties, making them one of the most vocal breeds. They love to use their meow to communicate every want and need to their owner and simply just chat with you, too. Therefore, their presence is always known, and they won’t let you forget that they are around.
Oriental Shorthairs are very people orientated and love to receive attention from their owner. This can be in the form of interactive play, petting, or simply a vocal response to their “chatting”.
These high maintenance kitties will let you know once they’ve entered a room and will not rest until you have sufficiently acknowledged them. While this may be annoying for some people, they make excellent companions to people who live alone and need a companion to bring more life into the home.
Oriental Shorthairs also make very devoted pets, and they develop a strong attachment to their owners. They dislike being left alone, and if they are in a home where the owners are out most of the time, they will suffer. After a while, they may exert their unhappiness through destructive behaviour.
They have moderate energy levels and a natural curiosity. They love to explore, jump and climb, and they adore playing games and learning tricks with their owners. As they are so intelligent, they learn tricks and commands quickly and have impressive skills for puzzle games.
The Oriental Shorthair is not for everyone, but a beautiful companionship develops when these loyal and loving felines find their perfect humans. They will thrive in a home where their owners are often home, so this kitty is ideal for someone who lives alone and works from home.
As they are so confident and social, they do well in large family homes and busy environments. They are excellent with both children and other pets and do not get anxious around strangers. All these cats need is regular human interaction, so as long as you can provide that, your Oriental Shorthair will thrive. However, we also recommend getting them a cat buddy if you don’t have any existing pets, so they have a friend to play with when you are busy.

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.

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.
