The oriental longhair, a close relative of the Siamese, is vocal, sociable, and full of personality.
Oriental Longhair Cat Breed
The elegantly built oriental longhair, also known as the British angora, resembles its relative the Siamese but has a much more recent history, officially recognized by the Cat Fanciers' Association in 1995. Its long, silky coat comes in an outstanding array of color and pattern combinations, and the cat is as personable as it is pretty. This curious, easygoing, and talkative breed is best suited to a home with lots of people or an extremely dedicated single owner.

Exercise : The oriental longhair has a lot of energy, so it loves to explore, play games, and tackle toys. One fun way to interact with this curious kitty (and keep its brain busy) is training. As far as cats go, this breed is surprisingly trainable. The longhair is incredibly smart and inquisitive and responds well to positive reinforcement training methods. This will strengthen the bond you have with your cat while keeping it stimulated and entertained.
Oriental longhairs share many traits with their Siamese relatives. They are exceptionally curious and clever and, unless you keep them appropriately stimulated, they can get into mischief to entertain themselves.
