✨ Fun Fact
Oriental Longhairs are known as 'Javanese' in some registries, 'Mandarin' in others, and 'Foreign Longhair' in yet others — probably the most confusingly named cat breed group.
The longhaired version of the Oriental Shorthair — sleek, svelte, and elegant with a silky, close-lying semi-long coat and large bat-like ears. Comes in all colors and patterns without points. Vocal, affectionate, and very social.
