Per TICA: 10+ years minimum, "have been known to live 20+ years." Most well-bred Orientals live 15-20+ years with reasonable veterinary care.
Yes. They inherited the Siamese family's vocal range — meows, chirps, trills, yowls. If silence is highly valued in your home, may not be the right breed.
No cat is truly hypoallergenic. Orientals have short coats with minimal undercoat — many allergy sufferers tolerate better than heavy-shedding breeds. Visit in person first if you have allergies.
Most likely yes with cat-friendly breeds (Cavalier King Charles, Pug, Beagle, Golden Retriever) introduced gradually. Orientals are confident — they don't typically panic from dogs.
Yes for 8-10 hour workdays with enriched environment (cat trees, toys, window perches). NOT recommended for multi-day trips alone — they need human interaction.
Both work. Orientals can thrive solo with adequate daily attention. Pairs (especially littermates) play together and reduce loneliness when you're at work.
Yes. TICA officially recognizes 281 distinct color and pattern combinations for Oriental Shorthairs. See our complete 281 colors guide.
TICA documents two main concerns: amyloidosis (no DNA test available) and anesthesia sensitivity (manageable with breed-aware vet protocols). Otherwise generally healthy. See our Health page.
Yes. Every breeding cat receives a full DNA panel before producing any litter — PRA, PKD, recessive disorders, color verification, parentage.
2-year guarantee. If a board-certified veterinary cardiologist diagnoses HCM within 24 months of go-home, we provide replacement or refund per contract.
If your kitten is diagnosed with congenital or genetic disease within 12 months of go-home, we work with you on replacement of equivalent value OR refund.
Strongly recommended within 14 days of go-home. Our guarantees cover specific genetic/HCM conditions; insurance covers everything else.
Per TICA: comb every couple of weeks with a stainless steel comb. Weekly nail trim, weekly eyes/ears, regular tooth brushing with vet toothpaste.
TICA recommends canned (wet) food primary. Kittens 3-4x daily, adults 2x daily. We send food samples and brand info home with each kitten.
TICA: at least 3 feet from food. Cats avoid drinking near food sources instinctively. Many owners see 30-50% increased water intake after moving the bowl.
Strongly recommended. Outdoor risks include theft, predators, cars, disease. Use leash/harness or build a catio for outdoor experience.
