The “Foreign” Cat
The second basic body type is the “foreign” cat. An extreme example of the so-called foreign type would be the Siamese. The word “foreign” in this context has no geographical connotations; it simply means, in terms of the cat fancy, non-cobby. The Siamese which is an extreme example of the “foreign” type is described as Oriental. The foreign or Oriental body is slender and lithe, with a narrow and wedged shaped head and long legs. Generally, the impression it gives is one of sleekness, sinuos movement, and relatively light weight.
