Oriental Cat Breed Gallery

An Oriental Cat is a beautiful long, tall and elegant cat with a wedge shaped head with large ears that fit the wedge of the head. They have vivid green eye colour the deeper the better. Oriental Cats are closely related to the Siamese Cat and so have a very similar appearance though Oriental Cats are not pointed and do not have blue eyes (with the exception of the Pointed Bicolours).

Oriental Colours and Breed Numbers

There are currently over two hundred different combinations of Oriental Colours and Patterns. Oriental Cat Breeder have decided to split them into the following sections and display some example photographs in each section.

  • Oriental Shorthair (Selfs) including Foreign White (found on this page)
  • Oriental Bicolours
  • Oriental Shorthairs (Non-Selfs) including Torties, Smoke, Tabbies and Shaded (link to follow)
  • Oriental Longhairs (link to follow)

All sections should be used in conjunction with the 'Standard List of Withholding Faults'. (in addition the breed standards for TICA and FB/FIFE can also be found each page.)
