About the Oriental Longhair

The Oriental Longhair, formerly known as the British Angora or Javanese, is the longhaired version of the Oriental Shorthair. It is a svelte, elegant, and muscular breed characterized by its long, tubular body, large ears, almond-shaped eyes, and a silky, medium-length coat that lies flat. Known for its extroverted, vocal, and highly social personality, it forms extremely strong bonds with its owners and thrives on interaction and mental stimulation.
