There are diverse range of pattens and marking and have both short hair and long hair varieties.
Those with short hair are sometimes referred to as "painted on" as they are so short and very tight.
The long hair oriental cats have been created by cross breeding with other pedigree breeds.
They have the same type of personality as Siamese, they're active, curious, loving a loyal.

Since they want to be with you most of the time and are very demanding, you'll find it difficult to do anything without them like reading a book or a magazine, they're likely to put themselves in front of it.
Unless you shut the door behind you, they'll follow you to the bathroom too.
They're the type of cat who loves to be around people and they will always find a way to get your attention.
They don't appreciate being left alone for long periods of time and will let you know how unhappy they are when you return by being vocal and being unaffectionate.
They have a wonderful ability to understand your emotions and are happy to provide comfort when needed, so you will probably find yourself sharing your bad day with the cat and not with people.
