Oriental shorthair cats are energetic and curious. They are lively pets that need a lot of exercise and games. This cat likes to act coquettishly and has a personality similar to its ancestor, the Siamese cat. Therefore, if the owner neglects it, it will not only become jealous but also lose its temper.

1. Characteristics of Oriental Shorthair Cats

【High IQ】

Oriental shorthair cats have a very high IQ, which is unmatched by ordinary purebred cats. They are naturally active and always feel like they are playing games in life. The reason why I like Oriental shorthair cats is that they are more like the divine cats in Egyptian mythology and are full of mystery. I have six Orientals at home, and each one has different preferences, but they also have one thing in common, which is to play. I often joke that I have a group of "golden retriever cats" because my cats have a knack for retrieving. Its play time is determined by itself. It doesn't mean that you want to play with it, it just likes to play with you. Sometimes we want to show off in front of our friends, but it often puts us in a more embarrassing situation. Like Crayon Shin-Chan, my cat always shows up at the wrong time, does the wrong thing, or has the wrong idea, and then develops the wrong habits, and eventually gets out of hand.

【Stubborn】

I always feel that the temperament of Oriental shorthair cats is a bit stubborn. If they don’t like or are unwilling to do something, no matter how hard you try, they won’t listen to a word. Because cats don’t like bathing, most of my cats are bathed once every six months. Once, I risked getting hurt and gave Guaguai a bath. From then on, when Qianqian saw Guaiguai, she would make a threatening sound at him. According to the analysis of cat-raising scientists, it may be because Guaiguai's body smell changed after taking a bath. An old lady's voice often comes from behind: That Guaiguai smells good, but if you smell it, you don't like it. You must be jealous! Qianqian is very sensitive to smells. It had a favorite toy. Every day wherever it went, it would pick up the toy and clean it if it was dirty. From then on, Qianqian no longer liked that toy and there was really nothing she could do about it.

【Weird personality】

Sometimes, I feel that the personality of Oriental shorthair cats is quite strange. They usually don't like to be held by people. When it comes to the cat show, we are always worried about how the judges will handle them. They are actually played around like props in the hands of the judges. At first I always felt that the judging techniques were rather advanced and not something we juniors could master. But one time, I brought an "Eastern Shorthair" to a party, and everyone (except me) could play with it as they pleased. Apart from helplessness, I couldn't think of any words that could better express my mood at that time.Algae.

At 3 o'clock in the morning, there will always be a little hand patting your face. If you turn on the light, you will see a sleepy cat sitting there energetically, with its beloved toy in its mouth. If you kindly ask: "Do you want to play?" it will be more excited to put the toy in front of you and wait, like a child who has done a good deed and is waiting for a little flower, and his heart is still happy. . After you have no choice but to throw the toy away, they will run over as fast as possible, pick up the toy back, and place it in front of you, and the cycle starts again. At this time, I usually think of Foolish Old Man Who Moved the Mountains, "Children beget grandchildren, and grandchildren beget children, and children and grandchildren are endless." When will this end? After patient guidance, I finally changed the play time to after dinner, so that I could sleep peacefully.
