FAQs

How expensive are Oriental cats?

Oriental Shorthair cats typically cost between £450 and £2,300 when purchased from reputable breeders in the UK, with prices varying based on pedigree, age, and breeder reputation. Adoption fees are usually lower, around £40 to £270, but Oriental cats are rarely found in shelters. Initial costs such as vaccinations and microchipping add to the investment, with ongoing monthly care expenses, including food, litter, and vet visits, potentially ranging from £90 to £400. Overall, lifetime care costs may amount to approximately £9,500 to £12,500.

Do Oriental cats make good pets?

Yes, Oriental Shorthair cats make excellent pets for owners who can devote time and attention to them. They are affectionate, lively, and social cats that bond closely with their humans. Their vocal and curious nature means they thrive in interactive households and enjoy regular play and socialisation. Due to their high energy levels, they need plenty of mental and physical stimulation to prevent boredom and related behavioural problems.

Do Oriental cats like to be held?

Oriental Shorthair cats generally enjoy being held, cuddled, and stroked, as they are very people-oriented and affectionate by nature. While individual preferences may vary, many Oriental cats seek close physical contact with their owners and appreciate being involved in family activities, making them loving and engaging companions.

What is the British Oriental cat?

The term 'British Oriental cat' usually refers to a variant or type of Oriental Shorthair bred in the UK, often blending characteristics of British Shorthairs and Oriental breeds. These cats share the sleek, slender build and vocal, social personality of Oriental Shorthairs but may have some regional breeding influences. However, there is no officially recognised distinct breed named 'British Oriental cat', and the term is used informally to describe related Oriental-type cats bred within Britain.
