We had a black Oriental who lived to be 16 who only passed away recently - and yes - the are real personalities!!!! She did not have a mean bone in her body, loved people, and was always nearby. Sweet girl
And I guess you're learning what the Oriental yowl is like??
We were going to breed ours since she came from show cat lines, but when they're in heat, that yowl is twice as loud and a LOT more frequent. It lasted 2 days then we got her spayed... hehe
Anyway, I hope Sonic is as happy and healthy as our Oriental was, lives a long life, and that he gets on well with his new brother!
i agree, the current trend in orientals is too extreme for my taste, as well. i like the 'applehead' version much better. Sonic is really cute, much cuter than the more elongated ones, IMO. more
