The Oriental was developed in Britain in the 1950s–60s from Siamese cats to combine their graceful build with a huge range of colours. Orientals are very sociable, talkative and clever, bond strongly with their owner and do not cope well with being alone. The short, glossy coat (there is a semi-long variety too) needs almost no grooming, and the breed suits people who are often at home and want an active conversation partner rather than a decorative cat.
