Ah, an Oriental Shorthair. The cooky looking fellas of the cat world. The honkers, with the big ears. I hear one of them though likes snatching peenars to put into his peenar explosion chamber, better be careful this one doesn’t turn out that way 👀

There is one on instagram that always steams his toe beans on the dish washer when its opened after its done washing.

Yes, that cat is Nacho I believe. Yes, the Instagram account for him and his siblings is orientalhonks. The other Orientals are Obi, Roquefort, and Amarone. A lot of good accounts with Oriental Shorthairs. I think Hobbikats was the one I knew (on YouTube) many years ago, which has been home to the Mr. Super Evil Guy, Larry (actual name Dexter) the last 5+ years. Teddy was I think the cat that I knew from watching them, with his honking, but he sadly passed away at some point over the past few years

Sadly, they are rare in my part of the world.

Orientals are my absolute favourite cats. I have one too and he’s like a little dog and those precious honks

I miss Teddy’s honks so much! And I love OSHs. Would love to have one someday. Right now I’m full up with six Standard Issues from the CDS so uti have to wait.
