My Oriental is the love of my life. The bit about being very inventive to get what they after is sooo true. My cat worked how to get the fridge open by using his 2 front paws as hands. He then pulls out a few things until he finds what he is after, e.g tonight’s steaks, drags them down the passage underneath the spare bed. We now have a latch on the fridge!
So incredibly intelligent, never a dull or lonely moment when he is around, a true companion.

My little oriental was found in a box somewhere
and was rescued and given to me.
Best cats in the world, so friendly and energetic
but he’s not too overly affectionate; which
a lot of cats are. Never need bug spray in my
house if master hunter is around! haha
Strangest obsession of his would have to be
him wanting to be in the bathroom every time
I have a shower. strange but true

My oriental is very tiny. She is three years old and weighs four pounds, and is white with powder blue eyes. She is very talkative, and catches ever bug she can find. She also never lets me have a bath or shower without being in the room. She is a very much a carnivore, she steals meat off my plate. She is also very curious. She is the best cat I have ever had, hands down.

My daughter gave me a Siamese (that some idiot gave up to the SPCA). I didn’t want a cat, but my daughter felt that I needed company, so she picked out Pax.
I was a little unsure at first. A cat . . . okay. They’re easy pets and not very demanding. But a Siamese? My only experience with orientals, as far as I knew, was with a very vocal, extremely territorial Siamese owned by family friends and she absolutely terrified me! Now I realize that she was a phenomenal cat and that I was terrified because 1.) I was a child and got my opinions from the adults around me and 2.) because she was a very odd cat, getting in my face and yowling and following me around. Now I realize her behavior was actually quite a complement, because she usually hated strangers. In retrospect, I now realize she liked me! I figured this out after getting to know Pax. And my daughter was right: Pax was the purrrrrrrrrfect choice. She is . . . well I don’t have to tell you what she’s like and about all of her antics if you know anything about Siamese.
Recently, however, my daughter moved in with me and brought her two cats. Motoko is solid black with very light eyes and she has always been an people-attention seeker too. We all thought she was a DSH. Now we wonder if she is actually more Siamese than whatever else is in her background.
At first Pax and Motoko HATED each other, but both were just fine with the other cat (a huge neutered male orange tabby). It seemed that Motoko and Pax sought each other out a lot - only to then get into a fight!
Lately the girls started getting along and are now best friends, UNLESS one of them is being petted by the other one’s favorite human.
And now we are absolutely certain that Motoko’s heritage is mostly oriental. She is vocal; she follows her humans around; she opens doors and other amazine things that the tabby doesn’t even seem to get - but Pax does. And the girls are teaching each other their tricks!
We never thought of getting Pax a companion because she is so people oriented, but now that I am going back to work I think I may give that some thought. But one thing is certain: Pax will play a big role in choosing her new friend.

I found him at a rescue shelter, too depressed to eat. His family had to leave him there and he was in dispair. I didn’t realize he was the world’s longest cat - he was in a box on a tall shelf. But I called him, and he looked over, and then he got up, and up and up…and decided to come down to see me. He came down…and down…and down!! I had never seen such a long cat! He’s my baby now, vocal and demanding, bonded and happy, with lots of toys. Unbelievably beautiful, grey with stripes and wild cat splotches, and white for contrast - such LONG toes!! We call him Buddy, after John Astin’s character on Night Court - does anyone remember? Uncle Buddy - “I’ve been away, but I’m MUCH better now!” Just found out he’s an Oriental (Animal Planet) and hypoallergenic, so I had the thrill of telling my allergic friend about Orientals. Maybe another classic cat will find a good home.

I love my oriental. I had a Alley Cat Tabby that I was totally bonded with who died after 15 years. I was completely distraught and had to find a new buddy before I went mad.
I did a bunch of research on breeds and then found a breeder with actual kittens. Drove for 3 hours where my Slinky Cat jumped on to the couch and went belly up right next to me. I saw him and new he was my buddy.
I drove 3 hours with him in my lap, like a perfect lap kitten, took him home where he slept in my arms from day 1. If I don’t hold this cat at night in my arms, he lightly taps me on the nose to remind me that he’s not in his place.
Its funny one of the other people mention the shower… My slinky cat has a heartattack every morning when I’m in the shower. He’s gone as far as to jump in while the water is running.
These cats are so smart, so vocal, and completed devoted to their loved ones. I’m my kitties preferred person, but he will cuddle with others if I’m not around.
Only thing is that you can’t leave these animals alone for more than 10 hours. They can’t stand it. They will cry when you get home like you abandoned them. They’ll even become vengeful on purpose if you leave them over night. Its better if they have another animal with them, but for more than 2 nights, I have to put the cat up in a pet hotel else he’ll destroy things… something he NEVER EVER does except when he’s left alone for too long. (My roomate being home, isn’t enough… I swear my cat will die of a brokenheart if something were to happen to me.. the cat becomes so attached to you).
What a great animal. I’ve owned cats all my life. I currently own a Oriental and a Sphynx. I can’t begin to explain or have you believe the bond I have with my Oriental.
