Genotypic and Phenotypic Analysis of Coloration in Oriental and Siamese Cats

From the point of view of genetics, Oriental and Siamese cats distinguish 1 gene – “C” dominant (gene for complete body coloration in Orientals) and recessive “cs” (gene for Siamese color).

Tips for Bringing a New Oriental
or Siamese Kitten Home

My experience with Cataristocrat was absolutely wonderful. Olga was very helpful and knowledgeable.. and I could not love my princess Maya more ... I have another cat and they adore each other.

Working with Olga was seamless. All of her kittens are beautiful. We are so grateful she let us take home Smudge. She made my daughter's dream come true. I would recommend Cataristocrat wholeheartedly

Thank you Olga for letting me buy this lovely bengal female, Julya.. I picked Julya because I wanted a snow female of high quality for breeding and show. I got exactly what I was looking, for including a very social and friendly cat. I will like to give all best recommends to this breeder, she is so professional and at the same time a very nice person. PS. No problems about having the cat coming all the way home to Denmark, everything was arranged for me, and my little bengal came home to me safely. Thank you. Please feel free to contact me if necessary. Best regards, mette from harlekin-bengals Denmark
