Oriental Longhair is a long and slender cat quite similar to the Siamese in its body structure. It is also known as British Angora. First recognition of this feline was in the late nineteenth century when it was found to be distinct from the Persian in its coat and physique. This recognition did not last long and it was only in the nineteen sixties that breeders in United Kingdom started developing this cat in earnest.

A lithe and tubular body is the hallmark of this svelte but muscular cat. Coat is silky and long though single layered. It occurs in a variety of colors and patterns including apricot, blue, black, chocolate, cinnamon, fawn, lilac, red, tipped and tabby. Head is wedge shaped and the almond shaped eyes are usually green to blue in coloration. Odd-eyed cats are often seen as well. Ears are large and pointed. Legs are long and so is the bushy tail.

Though Oriental Longhairs are generally quite healthy there have been cases of liver and heart disorders in them. These include hepatic amyloidosis and dilated cardiomyopathy in some lines. There is also a somewhat increased incidence of dental disorders including plaque buildup and gum inflammation. On the whole though these elegant cats are healthy and live for over fifteen years in an indoor environment.

Intelligent and playful by nature, Oriental Longhairs are very active cats. They can be mischievous and demanding at times and are quite inquisitive. Like their relative Siamese cats, the British Angoras are very vocal and expressive. Their fondness for high places is also famous. Even with their active lifestyles these felines take time to develop close attachments to their humans whom they will follow around everywhere.

Cat furniture is available in a wide variety of selections so you can easily find the right furnishing for you and your pet’s needs. Take that example of your cat lounging on your couch or your bed. He just wants a place to relax, which is why he picked that spot. So, you need to give him a nice alternative that is just as soft and cozy and what’s perfect for that is a kitty condo or cat house. They are generally cylindrical in shape and can be anywhere from one level to three, even for levels high. They are made out of wood and are generally covered in a soft, durable fabric like carpeting. They feature enclosed sleeping areas where your cat can easily lounge and get a good nap in if it wants to.

Another great lounging option on top of the kitty condo is a lovely cat bed. They come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, from ones that are small and round to others that are large and flat. They are made from different plush fabrics that are very comfy and, like the carpeting, are very durable so they cannot be easily damaged.

The thing is, there are many cat furnishings that are made specifically for your cat to run, jump, play, climb, and just have a good time. Like a cat tree for example. It is full of different juxtaposing limbs and levels where you cat can just play to its heart content.
