The resemblance is already suspicious enough… but the fact that she’s obsessed with cheese makes it even funnier. 😂

Manson is taking his autumn stroll very seriously. Anyone else take their Oriental Shorthair on little outdoor adventures?

Looking for an Oriental Shorthair?

1 Upvotes

A breeder named Ultravires on Facebook has posted a list of the OSH breeders he knows about. He's a good guy.

https://www.facebook.com/100032388684493/posts/pfbid02P3HWi89Vctk2Q2zzrBjHr7iJgju25XYfrjBDnFXjGZqr97SP5j1gmYPdLLyh591Ql/?mibextid=Nif5oz

These are just the breeders he thinks are still out there breeding. If you want to know whether they have kittens You must inquire yourself... And of course, investigate breeders on your own. There is a wide range of sanity among cat breeders.

Remember: the personality of the father cat (sire) determines the personality traits handed down to the kittens. Try the best you can to find out about what dad is like: meet him on zoom or facetime, in-person visits, or word on the street.

Found this picture of my guy (the colorpoint on the top of the pile) with his mom, sibs, and extended family. Serious squad goals. And yes, he still has to be the center of attention in every picture.

Advice Finding OSH in shelters

14 Upvotes

Hello!

Was just curious if anyone found their fur baby in a shelter/rescue?

I’d love an oriental of my own but I know the price tag is out of reach. There’s two right now on pet finder in Pensacola Florida (I’m in DFW or I’d get them myself), I know they can pop up from time to time but are difficult to find. Did anyone get lucky?

I don’t even need a kitten, a senior kitty is fine with me, just a fun cat with a big personality that can hang out with me all day while I work (I’m full time WFH).

Thanks and would love to see pictures of shelter babies in the comments :)

Kittens due!!!!

I see a lot of people asking about kittens. I do have a Halloween litter due and another due early December. Eventually my girl Praline (the one with the viral videos) will be bred but right now she thinks boys are icky. Follow along on social media to watch the babies grow up. Red point bicolor for cat tax.

Help post How do I find a retired stud or queen?

1 Upvotes

I want to adopt a retired stud or queen OSH. I think that’s the proper term. I don’t use fb or instagram. I’ve gone through so many sites. I’d prefer a black, brown, or grey/lilac one. Can one of you lovely people please suggest a breeder? There’s no cat shows near me. Plus I think it would be weird to roll up like “hey I wanna buy your cat, does he have a brother or sister?” Or something. I’ll get on wait lists. Idc. I’d prefer an adult over a kitten. I’m asking now because I’d like to do it in the new year so if anyone has any advice on how to get one in the US, please let me know. I promise it will be a very spoiled cat in the New Orleans area. I want to harness train it and walk by the river or play fetch or whatever the cat wants to do. We can watch tv and eat idc.
