yes, Bigbazza posted that she is indeed an Oriental :

'Cinnamon', is now in the adolescent stage..She was only 9 weeks old when we
bought her..Far too young to leave their mothers at that age...They should
be still with their mothers until around 12-13 weeks.... The 'Oriental
Shorthair' comes in different colours ,but the same shaped body, Jean..Very
much resembles a 'Siamese' in body shape..Long and slim..We have a
'Cinnamon' colour, that is a beautiful mink like look to her..We should have
called her 'Minky'...


Here is a true description of her nature..From the Wikipedia entry...I
couldn't tell you more about her nature than this comment..True in every
detail of her.......


"Oriental Shorthairs are intelligent, social animals who bond closely to
their people. They are inquisitive, friendly, emotional, demanding and often
quite vocal. Oriental Shorthairs have been likened to a Greyhound or a
Chihuahua in appearance. Some people say they are 'dog-like' in personality,
particularly because they become so attached to people."


This first article is about 'Oriental Breed'...
