Todays OSH Sometimes referred to as a Siamese with designer genes, the Oriental Shorthair (OSH) is accepted in a myriad of colours and patterns, so many that breeders usually specialize in only a few favourites. Today’s Oriental Shorthair was not originally a direct import from Thailand, but rather a Siamese hybrid. Cats of different colours were also in Siam in the early years of the Traditional Siamese, & the Siamese coat & colour must have derived from these cats. Todays breed’s creation was deliberate and planned in the 1950s. British breeders started crossing Siamese cats with domestic shorthairs and Russian Blues developing the breed of today. Breeders wanted a cat very similar to the Siamese, with their infamous personality but in a wider range of colours and patterns. Some people were not fond of the Siamese colour point pattern & preferred a more normal looking cat, but still wanted the wonderful intelligence & dog like personality of the Siamese. The Oriental Shorthair comes in every kitty colour you've ever imagined, and likely some you haven't. As the breed standard says, the Oriental’s reason for being is the coat colour. The breed is essentially a Siamese not confined to the colour-point pattern & colours. Like the Siamese the OSH is a wonderful,loving breed & may well be the cat your family has been looking for!
