Oriental shorthair cats have a very high IQ, which is not comparable to that of ordinary cats. They also like to act coquettishly. If parents neglect them, they will be jealous or even angry.

The cat may hate this kind of caressing at first, but as long as it is done step by step every day and forms a habit, the cat will I'm happy with this.
