Orientals are very affectionate cats and also very active. They are also quite curious and love to investigate paper bags and boxes. Move an old cat tree a few feet and a renewed interest will bring them back to climb and claw as if it was a brand new addition to their domain. Most are very vocal with voices that have to be heard to be believed. Rings from bottle caps, tiny pieces of fuzzy fur will keep kittens occupied for hours.
Older cats enjoy playing as much as the young ones.
At night most cats will want to sleep with you and climb under the covers if they can. An outstanding Oriental will have a long hard tubular body with good refinement and a short tight coat. The head has a tapering wedge which starts at the nose and flares out in straight lines to the tips of the ears forming a triangle. The nose is straight and the eyes should be almond shaped. Eye color is green except white Orientals may have blue, green, or odd-eyed eye color.
