The care truth
Affection is only the beginning.
A highly social and often vocal cat who needs dependable companionship, play, warmth and enrichment, and may be a poor fit for homes expecting a quiet background presence.

Let the individual animal answer
Meet the nature,
not just the name.
A Oriental Shorthair profile can help you ask better questions. It cannot tell you how a particular animal feels around children, copes with solitude, responds to touch or moves through a new home. Meet slowly, listen to the people who know them, and leave room for a different-looking animal to be the better fit.
