	Oriental Shorthair
		The Siamese and its extended family--the Balinese, colorpoint shorthair, Oriental shorthair, Javanese, and Oriental longhair--are the cat fancy's equivalent of the two-pair-of-pants-and-reversible-vest suit: an adaptable mini-wardrobe that fits on a single genetic hanger.
		While the Siamese, Balinese, and colorpoint shorthairs confine their expression of color to their points--face, ears, legs, and tail--the Oriental shorthair is characterized by a full-bodied application of color fit for a queen.

	CFA Breed Standard: Oriental
		COAT COLOR: the Oriental's reason for being is the coat color whether it is solid, shaded, smoke, parti-color, bi-color or tabby patterned.
		The shaded Oriental has a white undercoat, with a mantel of colored tipping shading down from the sides, face and tail from dark on the ridge to white on the chin, chest underside and under the tail.
		Thus, the non-white parts of the cat vary from the intense expression of color on the points to a paler manifestation of that color on the body (darkening with age is allowed, and may be more pronounced than in non bi-color pointed cats).
