Adult male Oriental Shorthairs weigh between seven and 10 pounds (3 4,5 kg), while the females tip the scales at five to eight pounds. The slim and sleek body of an Oriental Shorthair is not compatible with excess weight, so a proper diet is essential.These cats put on weight quickly and an extra meal or two can lead to excess belly fat in no time
Orientals are a manmade breed that originated in the 1950s in England. Many modern breeds developed from the crosses done at that time and one such breed is the Oriental Shorthair/Longhair. Russian Blues, British Shorthairs, Abyssinians, and regular domestic cats were crossed to Siamese and the resulting cats were not pointed and were crossed back to Siamese. In surprisingly few generations, there were cats that were indistinguishable from Siamese in all ways except colour. The nonpointed cats were the ancestors of our modern Orientals.
Initially, each colour was developed and named as a separate breed: such as Foreign White, Havana (originally known as the Chestnut Brown Foreign) and the Oriental Spotted Tabby. Soon it became apparent that there were too many possible colours to have a breed for each so all the nonpointed cats were grouped into one breed.
