Oriental cats are the closest relatives of the most famous oriental cat breed, the Siamese. The main distinguishing feature of oriental cats was a solid color. At the end of the 19th century, Siamese cats of various colors, including plain ones, were brought to England from Thailand. But English felinologists considered them a deviation from the standard and stopped breeding the breed, explaining that they were only interested in Siamese cats of the Himalayan color with blue eyes.
