The Oriental Shorthair cat shares common roots with the Siamese breed. It was developed in the mid-20th century in the United Kingdom and the United States by crossing Siamese cats with other shorthaired breeds. The breeders' goal was to create a cat with the appearance of a Siamese but with a variety of coat colors. In 1977, the breed was officially recognized.
