The Oriental Longhair, formerly known as the Angora, is a breed of cat that features a tubular, Siamese-style body (known in the cat fancy as oriental type), but with a longer coat than the short-haired Siamese. The coat can also come in a variety of colours and patterns, including tabby, "tortie", and solid.

In 2002, the Angora was renamed Oriental Longhair by British cat fancies. This avoided confusion with the Turkish Angora. With no globally recognised naming convention, other cat fancies refer to this type as Javanese, Foreign Longhair or Mandarin.

The Oriental Longhair has the same body type and nature of an Oriental cat - lean, sleek, intelligent and inquisitive - and a silky medium-length coat with a plumed tail, just a coloured in Balinese, or a hairy coloured in Siamese!

Oriental Longhairs can be any of the standard shorthair colours. The range of possible coat colours includes everything from self-coloured (black, blue, chocolate, lilac, cinnamon, caramel, fawn, red, cream and apricot), tortie, smoke (silver undercoat), shaded, tabby any pattern or white. All Oriental Longhairs have green eyes, except for the whites, which may have green or blue eyes, or be odd-eyed (two different coloured eyes).

As with the Balinese the long hair gene is recessive, hence when they are bred back to Oriental shorthairs or Siamese shorthaired offspring are produced, these are called variants. It is important that these variant matings are done as they widen the gene pool and allow the opportunity to improve the Oriental Longhairs.
