Oriental Bicolour

The Oriental Bicolour

Zebadee Seal Point and White Oriental Bicolour Female OSH n 03 21 33 Dob 17 08 11 (2) Zebadee Seal Point and White Oriental Bicolour Female OSH n 03 21 33 Dob 17 08 11The Oriental Bicolour is a cat of Oriental type with a long, slender body and tapering whip-like tail. The triangular shape of the head is made of straight lines with a straight side profile and large, wide-set ears. The eyes are green, except in the colourpoint varieties which have blue eyes. The coat on the shorthaired variety is sleek, close-lying and glossy, while that of the longhair is fine and silky, lying flat to the body with no thick undercoat and forming a plume on the tail. The full range of colours seen in Siamese and Orientals is permitted, however a defining feature of breed is that they always have white spotting. In a cat of show quality this should extend to cover at least one third of the body and the distribution may be random and quirky like splashed paint. There is always a greater distribution of white on the cat’s underside and legs in comparison with its back. This patterning is caused by the dominant white spotting gene, which is symbolized with the letter S.
