Thai cats Gentle n’ elegant

Thai Cats are very devoted to their pet parents…they exactly know when you are in a happy mood and when you are sad. Here’s more about this amazing breed.

Thai Cats, often called Wichien-Maat (meaning ‘moon diamond’ or ‘diamonds and gold’) or ‘Old-style Siamese’ are native pointed cats of Thailand. But these cats are very emotional and if you are looking for a close companion, this is the cat for you!

The elegance…

Short-haired with colourpoint pattern, deep blue eyes and whitish beige body…the Thai Cats are a sight to behold. They have a short flat coat, which is soft and silky. The ears are broad and set high on the head. Thais are available in different point colours and solid points, tortie points or torbie points.

The sweet demeanour…

Like Siamese cats, the beautiful Thai Cats are equally blessed with sweet character. They are quite and sedate, never aggressive. They have a great sense of humour and are active and curious.

Very intelligent, they are extremely devoted to their pet parents. They try to be with them all the time…following them from room to room and accompanying them during executing all home actions. They just want to be a part of the family all the time. They are also friendly with other cats.

The self-cleaners…

Thais are clean cats, they groom themselves perfect. Hence, they are easy to maintain and would require occasional grooming.

Perfect for someone who is looking for a friend for life!

Elegant ‘n’ lovable: Oriental Shorthairs

I’m pretty…

Oriental Shorthair is a medium-sized cat, with a long, tubular and tapering body, with fine bones and firm muscles. Her legs are long and slim, with small and oval paws, while her tail is long and tapering. The head, set on a long and slender neck, is a tapering wedge with a “banana-profile” and a strong chin. The large ears are wide at the base, and continue the line of the wedge. Their slanted, almond-shaped eyes are a vivid green colour. The fine-textured coat is very short, glossy, silky, close to the body, with no undercoat, which confers it smoothness and a glass-like sheen.

Orientals come in over 300 colours and patterns: solids (white, black, blue, chocolate, lilac, red, cream, cinnamon, fawn), tabbies (blotched, mackerel, spotted, ticked), silvers, bicolours... thus, out of such diversity of colours, you will certainly find a cat who suits your taste.

I’m social ‘n’ playful…

The Oriental cats have a strong personality - they are extrovert, hyper-social and playful, and remain so all through their lifetime. They are talkative and display a wide range of sounds, from the softest ones to those that remind you of an opera diva’s shrill note. Naughty, untiring and sometimes turbulent, they are always ready to frolic. Their lively curiosity combined with their keen intelligence make them natural mischief-makers, especially when there is nobody around to entertain them. The only thing they crave for is affection. They become extremely attached to their owners and when they get the required amount of attention, they return it with interest: companionship, amusing “conversation” and undying loyalty.

Groom me little…

The short coat requires little grooming. Brushing it carefully, once a week, is sufficient to remove loose, dead hair. After that, wiping the coat with a piece of either silk or natural chamois will give it a gorgeous high-gloss glow. It is also advisable to trim the claws and clean the ears once a fortnight.

I love to be around you…

The Orientals are a shining example of an interactive cat. When you come back home, they will eagerly meet you at the door either to show you how happy they feel or to scold you for being so late. They want to be with you every minute of every day. They will invariably follow you all over the house because they want to see everything, experiment everything, and share… everything! “Privacy” is a word that does not exist in the “Oriental cats’ dictionary.” They will be devoted and sensitive friends and they will fill your life with unconditional love.

I’m healthy…

This breed is generally healthy. Some bloodlines, however, can be prone to certain diseases such as gingivitis, cardio-myopathy, and liver and kidney amyloidosis.

So, if you are looking for a companion cat, both loyal and affectionate, the Oriental is the perfect breed for you.
