Breed of the Week: Oriental Shorthair Cat

Take a Siamese, coat it in any one or combination of a kalaidescope of colors, and you will have an approximation of the Oriental. The Oriental's personality is as colorful as its coat, and you will be continually delighted at its antics as it accompanies you through every activity of the day.

Be forewarned though-- Orientals crave companionship, and if you ignore yours or take it for granted, it will let you know its displeasure. The Oriental will remain loyal throughout its life and deserves no less from its human companion.
