Where Every Paw Feels at Home.
A sleek, big-eared chatterbox who wants to be involved
The Oriental Shorthair is a long, elegant cat with very large ears, a wedge-shaped head and a close, glossy coat in a wide range of colours. It is affectionate, loud and endlessly curious, and it thrives on attention and play.

This breed enjoys about 45 minutes of play a day. Around 2 sitter visits a day keeps that routine going, along with fresh food, water and a clean litter tray, when work or travel gets in the way.

Best-matched service
Yes, they are among the most talkative cats and will chat, demand and complain in a loud voice. Play and company reduce it but do not remove it.
Only lightly. The close coat sheds little and needs minimal grooming, though no cat is free of allergens.
They cope best with company. A second cat or a midday visit from a sitter helps prevent boredom and noisy behaviour.
