what is the difference?

[Fran]

Between Siamese and Oriental cats? Someone near us has an Oriental lilac male kitten for sale also an Oriental chocolate tortie kitten for sale.

I'm probably wrong but i think its Siamese are only allowed by the rules of (i cant remember the abbriviation) to be have points of colour, whereas the orientals are usually solid colours, but i do know bi-colours are begining to be bred here in England.........

[Fran]

Ah ok thank you Luke, so as I understand it then, Siamese are pointed and Orientals are solid coloured? But basically the same breed/personality etc...

[Luke]

i believe so Fran, we had a siamese once upon a time she was very sweet, and my grandmother has allways had at least 4 siamese and orientals for good measure, they have allways been very similar, but her orientals never seemed as highly strung as her siamese and they werent as vocal, i use the term as loosely as they will still noisey ******s :lol:
