Cats can sense when you need help.
If they wander all the way to your bed, or if they're always taking up room on the couch, know that they're just relieving you of negative energy. They have a special ability to detect magnetic fields, which is why it is recommended to put the bed where the cat spends more time and feels comfortable.
The cat is able to compensate for the physical and mental energy deficits of its owner. Research has shown that families with cats have a much lower incidence of disease, a more balanced atmosphere in the house and a more harmonious living environment.
Cats can sense when you are in pain.
Don't be surprised if your cat settles down exactly where it hurts. If your stomach hurts, your head hurts or your neck is tense, your favorite animal will most certainly linger on this area. Don't chase it away, be patient and let it flood you with healing energy. After a while the pain will decrease and you will feel much better.
Cats are excellent masters of bioenergetics, they can sense exactly when there is a problem somewhere, and therefore they try to balance the energies in a short time. They can sense the human aura, are amazing neurologists, psychologists, but are also excellent at "curing" physical illnesses. They alleviate anxiety, depressive symptoms and bring calm to the whole house and its owner.
Cardiovascular "doctors"
Cats are excellent cardiologists. People with hypertension can therefore consider sharing their life with a small, soft purr on all fours. People who have cats are much calmer, more balanced and their blood pressure problems are reduced. American research shows that the risk of heart attack is reduced by 30 to 40% in cat owners. Cats often sit on people's chests because they sense a problem and are quick to use their healing skills. This is how they prevent heart attacks.
Female cats have much stronger bioenergetics than male cats, and are more effective at reducing symptoms of mental and internal disorders ... 🐈❤️
When a cat falls out of a tree!
When a cat falls out of a tree, it lets go of itself. The cat becomes completely relaxed, and lands lightly on the ground. But if a cat were about to fall out of a tree and suddenly made up its mind that it didn't want to fall, it would become tense and rigid, and would be just a bag of broken bones upon landing.
In the same way, it is the philosophy of the Tao that we are all falling off a tree, at every moment of our lives. As a matter of fact, the moment we were born we were kicked off a precipice and we are falling, and there is nothing that can stop it. So instead of living in a state of chronic tension, and clinging to all sorts of things that are actually falling with us because the whole world is impermanent, be like a cat.
~Alan Watts
Cats are Natural Healers
If a cat were your teacher,
it would teach you that rest is not laziness,
but strength, that taking time for yourself is not a luxury, but a necessity. It would show you how to put yourself first, to live with peace of mind and without having to please anyone.
And above all, it would teach you to keep your curiosity alive and leave any fear behind. Because those who walk with a cat, learn to live with courage.♥️

What kind of person do cats love?
A cat will naturally gravitate towards the person who has a calmer, more centered energy. Cats prefer when you have a calming presence, consistent patterns, and predictable movements and exhibit cat-friendly, welcoming body language.
Respect. A person who is respectful of a cat's boundaries is likely to be top of the favorites list. Cats may not enjoy being around people who pick them up too much or squeeze them too hard when they're snuggling.
What personality type loves cats? They found that most respondents who identified themselves as introverted and sensitive were cat lovers, while those who said they were extroverted and agreeable were more typically dog people.
Cats are Natural Healers
Cats are natural healers, and their soothing presence goes beyond just being cute companions.
Their purring, for instance, isn’t just a sign of contentment—it vibrates at a frequency that has been shown to promote healing, reduce stress, and even lower blood pressure. This purring can act like a mini therapy session, calming your nerves and helping your body to relax.
Cats also have a unique ability to sense energy.
They often sit in certain spots around your home to dispel negative energy, almost like they’re cleansing the space. And when they curl up on your chest or near your heart, they’re not just seeking warmth—they’re drawn to your heart chakra, the center of love and healing in your body. By being close to you, they help to balance this energy center, bringing you comfort and emotional healing.
In a way, cats are like walking crystals, with their natural ability to absorb and neutralize negativity. Their presence can bring a sense of peace and well-being, making them true little healers in your life.
Benefits of Being A Cat Owner.
Specifically, cat ownership can reduce risk of cardiovascular disease and improve heart health, alleviate social isolation and loneliness, and reduce stress. In children, living with cats can strengthen immunity in the first year of life, and a pet cat can help those with autism and their families.”
A cat has the ability to both calm your nervous system and provide an immediate outlet for fun and play. Although cats are independent animals who like to scavenge and explore on their own terms, they are also very affectionate with their owners and people they trust.
Studies have shown that cats have a calming, stress-reducing impact on our health, and that cat owners are up to 30% less likely to experience heart diseases. In fact, their stress-reducing ways are so powerful that simply watching videos of cats can significantly elevate our mood.
The Health Benefits of Cats
While owning any pet can provide a myriad of health benefits, there are some benefits that are specific to cats. They can:
-
Lower stress and anxiety. Cat owners know how one session of petting or playing with their cat can turn a bad day into a good one. Scientific evidence also shows that a cat’s purr can calm your nervous system and lower your blood pressure.
-
Improve your cardiovascular health. Cat owners have been reported to carry a lower risk for heart disease and stroke.
-
Prevent allergies. You always hear about cat hair being one of the most common allergens. However, if a child is exposed to cats within the first few years of life, they are more likely to develop an immune system that combats not only cat allergies but other kinds of allergens as well.
Reduce feelings of loneliness.
Cats make great companion animals.
They offer an unconditional love that can be equal to (or sometimes even greater than) many human friends and confidants.
-
Tips to manage cat allergies:
-
You might be interested in adding a cat to your family but the only thing holding you back is a runny nose and watery eyes. Although it’s true that cats can trigger allergies, it might not instantly rule you out of owning a cat. Most allergies are caused by the animal’s dander and some breeds generate much more than others. If you suffer from allergies, it’s a good idea to spend time with different cats before adopting or buying. And if a friend or partner already owns a cat, there are still plenty of things you can do to help manage your allergy.
-
Restrict certain rooms in the house. If you suffer from a cat allergy, you may want to keep the cat out of your bedroom and restrict them to only a few rooms in the house, for example.
-
Wash your hands. After handling or petting your cat, be sure to wash your hands with soap and water before you touch your face or rub your eyes.
-
Use air purifiers. Air purifiers fight against cat allergies as well as other allergens that might be lingering in the air, such as dust mites. Using one may help you to live a healthy and happy life with your cat.
-
Be consistent about bathing. Giving your cat a bath can reduce dander, while also keeping your cat sleek and clean.
-
Use antihistamines. Consult your doctor or local pharmacist about the best antihistamine for your cat allergy. Common symptoms such as a runny nose can often be treated with oral medication, while puffy, watery eyes can frequently be treated with eye drops.
The Joy Of Owning a Cat:
Owning a cat can be an extremely rewarding relationship. A cat has the ability to both calm your nervous system and provide an immediate outlet for fun and play. Although cats are independent animals who like to scavenge and explore on their own terms, they are also very affectionate with their owners and people they trust.
Most cats love to curl up in your lap at the end of a long day while you watch television or read a book. The simplicity of this act can cause an automatic release of all the right kinds of chemicals to your brain, allowing you to ease into the evening without the weight of the world on your shoulders. Any cat owner will tell you just how much their furry friend helps them to relax and unwind. While many people enjoy the company of dogs, a cat can be more of an acquired taste—but once acquired, it’s a hard taste to lose.
Why cats make great pets
The versatility of cat ownership is one reason why so many people enjoy feline companionship. Cats make great pets whether you live in a big house or tiny apartment, and they provide all the fun and play of larger animal companions. If you’re thinking of owning a cat, these are some of the key benefits:
-
Cats are low maintenance. Maybe cats’ most alluring quality is that they are lower maintenance and cost less than dogs, who need walking, training, frequent grooming, and more toys and attention. Cats are also perfect for apartments or city living. They don’t need tons of space to play and explore—nosing their way through the nooks and crannies of your kitchen will keep them occupied for hours.
They’re quiet. Cats tend to meow when they’re hungry, but you rarely have to worry about being woken up or distracted from a task by a cat begging for attention.
This makes them an ideal pet if you’re working from home or have youngsters napping during the day, for example.
-
They’re independent. A cat will be there for you when you need them but they’re also perfectly adept at entertaining themselves. Most don’t need—or want—constant attention and you’ll never have to endure guilt-inducing puppy eyes from a cat.
-
They keep your house pest-free. You probably already know that cats like to hunt rodents. But they’re also natural insect killers, too, offering the kind of household protection that Venus flytraps promise but rarely deliver. Many cats thoroughly enjoy exterminating bugs such as house flies and spiders, almost like they’re being paid for it.
-
They have long life spans. The most difficult stage of pet ownership is parting with your beloved companion. While you’re still likely to outlive a cat, their longer lifespans mean you’ll get to have more time with them—up to 20 years, in fact.'
Reasons Why Cats Purr
by CVETS
If you’re lucky enough to enjoy the company of cats, you know that they purr a lot.
There is nothing better than a contented cat curled up on your lap, purring away happily while being petted by you, an equally contented owner. Many people think that cats purr just because they are happy. However, you may be surprised to learn that not all purrs are created equal, and that cats may purr for different reasons.
Ok, But First Things First – Exactly How Does a Cat Purr?
A cat’s purr originates in the cat’s brain. The brain sends neurological messages to the muscles of the larynx (voice box) that causes them to twitch at a rapid rate – 25-150 vibrations per second. Then, as the cat breathes, the vocal cords separate and create the purring noise. Every cat has a unique purr sound – some purrs have a high pitch, while others are just a low rumbling. Some purrs are so very faint you can hardly hear them, while champion purrers sound like miniature engines. Here’s a fun video you might like to watch on how cats purr.
So, Why do Cats Purr?
The act of purring releases endorphins within the cat’s brain.
Endorphins are hormones that cause feelings of happiness, motivation, social connection, and more. With that said, cats purr for several reasons. Since they can’t speak, it’s not easy to pinpoint the exact cause for a cat purring at any given moment in time. If you want to try deciphering the reason for the purring, try thinking back to what was happening when the purring began. Here are some reasons why cats purr.
Why Cats Purr – Communication
Purring is often used as a form of communication. Your cat may be purring because he’s trying to tell you he’s hungry and would like some favorite kibble please. This solicitation purr might even be combined with a meow. Cat mothers will purr to communicate with their kittens who are born blind. In turn, at just two days old, kittens learn how to purr in order to communicate their presence to their mother and to encourage her to feed them. Thus purring as communication stays with them throughout their lives.
Why Cats Purr – Stress
When stressed or anxious, cats will purr to calm their nerves and soothe themselves.
Because of the vibrations generated by the purr, purring can help reduce pain and inflammation, heal wounds, repair muscles and tendons, and even help stimulate bone healing. In case you find this hard to believe, purr frequencies correspond to vibrational/electrical frequencies used to treat certain conditions in humans such as bone fractures, pain, and wounds. In addition, a mother cat might well purr during the stressful event of giving birth.
Pay Attention to the Purr
Pay more attention the next time your cat is purring, and maybe you can figure out the reason why. If your cat is purring or otherwise communicating because he’s injured and in pain, get him to a vet as soon as possible. We want your cat to purr because he’s pain-free and happy.

Cat Purr Healing Power: Benefits For You And Your Pet
What's more comforting than petting a soft cuddly cat and listening to him purr? Scientists have studied the effects of the sound of purring on humans and discovered why we respond so positively to purrs. Here's some background on cat purr healing and why listening to your cat's purr may be the best route to a happy and healthy life!
How Could Purrs Help Humans Heal?
For centuries, healers have used the power of sound in their work. It is believed that certain frequencies or tones of sound can have varying healing effects on the body. Here are some of the ways that purrs might help humans with health concerns:
-
Purring releases endorphins in cats, and it can do the same thing in humans, too. Lowered stress hormones are helpful for healing, lowering blood pressure, and helping people cope with illness, too.
-
Cat purring has been shown to fall between 25 and 140 Hz. The same frequency has been shown to aid in the healing of broken bones, joint and tendon repair, and wound healing. Cats are well-known for their ability to heal quickly from their own broken bones, and the incidences of joint problems and bone cancer in cats are low. It's possible that cat purrs can help humans heal faster, too.
-
Clinical observations of cats that are suffering from upper respiratory conditions resulting in dyspnea, or trouble breathing, indicate that purring helps the cat breathe more easily. In fact, respiratory distress related to heart disease isn't nearly as common in cats as it is in dogs and humans. A person with respiratory problems might also be able to breathe easier if a purring cat is nearby.
-
There are many stories of people with migraines whose headaches are eased or extinguished when they lie with their heads close to purring cats.
-
Ancient Files: Ancient Egyptians really had a thing for cats, and it was pretty amazing. They thought these furry friends represented the goddess Bastet, who stood for protection, fertility, and happiness. You'd see cats all over their art and stories, showing just how much they honored them. Egyptians believed cats could keep evil spirits away, so they let them roam freely in homes and temples. Having a cat was a big deal, and people went all out to protect them; harming one? That was a serious crime! They even mummified their cats and buried them with their owners, thinking they’d need their feline pals in the afterlife. How cool is that?

Visitation Policy
Please note: Due to strict biosecurity measures endorsed by the guidelines of the respected providers listed below, we do not permit visitors or anyone outside Oramor to handle kittens prior to their first vaccination at 9.5 weeks of age for any reason.
This policy exists for the following evidence-based reasons:
-
Kittens have underdeveloped immune systems, making them especially vulnerable to infectious diseases in early life. (Small Door Veterinary) Small Door Veterinary
-
Kittens receive maternally-derived antibodies from their mother which help protect them from diseases early in life — however, these antibodies decline over the first weeks of life, leaving a window of vulnerability before vaccination takes effect. (RSPCA Australia Knowledgebase, citing the Australian Veterinary Association and WSAVA 2024 Guidelines) RSPCA Knowledgebase
-
We appreciate your understanding and look forward to introducing you to your kitten once they are safely vaccinated and protected.

Why Two Kittens Instead of One?
Sue recommends bringing home two kittens rather than one — why? Sue recommends introducing two kittens into your family home because:
-
One kitten can become lonely and bored
-
Two kittens will help keep each other entertained
-
Having two kittens is very amusing to watch
-
Companion kittens/cats have fewer behavioural issues
Is there evidence behind this recommendation, or is it just an Oramor preference? It's a widely supported view among vets, breeders, and animal welfare organisations. Feline behaviourists commonly describe "single kitten syndrome" — the set of challenges that can arise when a kitten grows up without a same-age companion. Kittens are highly social animals, and their early interactions with littermates play an important role in emotional and behavioural development, so kittens raised without that companionship can be more prone to behavioural issues later in life.
What specific benefits come from raising two kittens together?
-
Built-in socialisation. Kittens learn how to "speak cat" from one another — how hard to play, how to share territory, and how to communicate needs — simply by interacting with a companion.
-
Better bite and play control. Litter and companion kittens teach each other boundaries during rough-and-tumble play, learning when nipping or wrestling has gone too far.
-
Faster learning by observation. Kittens are natural copycats. A kitten who watches a companion use the litter tray or groom itself tends to pick up the same habit more quickly.
-
Less boredom-driven mischief. A single kitten left to its own devices for long stretches of the day is more likely to turn to destructive behaviour, like scratching furniture. Two kittens can burn off that same energy chasing and play-hunting each other.
-
Confidence building. A more outgoing kitten can help bring a shy or nervous littermate out of its shell.
-
Easier introductions to resident pets. If you already have an adult cat or a dog, two kittens will often focus their energy on each other rather than pestering the older animal, giving everyone time to adjust at their own pace.
-
Double the entertainment. Watching two kittens interact, play, and develop their own personalities is one of the simple joys of having a pair.
Does having two kittens mean twice the work for me? Not really. Because the kittens entertain, teach, and tire each other out, many owners find a bonded pair needs less hands-on entertainment from them than a single kitten does — while still requiring the same everyday care (feeding, litter, grooming, vet visits).
Choosing a Breed: Burmese or Siamese?
What is the Burmese temperament like?
Burmese are
-
gregarious,
-
intelligent, and
-
incredibly friendly,
with a self-confident nature that makes them highly sought-after companions.
They're playful, almost dog-like — some will even fetch and retrieve — and they thrive on being the centre of attention.
Burmese are
-
people-oriented,
-
quick to learn,
-
and follow their owners from room to room.
What does a Burmese look like?
Burmese are
-
glossy and athletic with a muscular,
-
surprisingly heavy build for their size,
-
a short velvet coat,
-
neat round paws, and
-
large round eyes with a
-
subtly exotic expression.
What is the Siamese temperament like?
-
Siamese are
-
extraordinarily loving,
-
highly intelligent,
-
inquisitive and elegant,
-
energetic and playful, and
-
steadfastly loyal —
totally devoted to their owners.
They're famous for being "talkers," communicating with their owners at what feels like a conversational level, and they form a lasting bond of affection.
Siamese don't like being left alone for long stretches, so they suit owners who want an interactive, full-on companion.
What's the difference between Classic and Traditional Siamese?
Classic Siamese existed alongside Traditional Siamese from the earliest imports out of Siam and aren't the product of later selective breeding — both types are recognised as quintessential Siamese.
Classics are medium-built with good muscle tone, a slightly elongated neck, body, legs and tail, medium ears, rounded-almond eyes, and a slight (not extreme) facial wedge.
If you're unsure which type suits you, Classic is a good place to start.
What colours do Oramor Siamese come in?
Oramor Siamese are bred in a range of point colours, including
-
seal,
-
chocolate,
-
blue and
-
lilac point.
Whatever the colour, every Siamese carries the breed's signature vivid blue eyes.
Which breed suits my lifestyle better?
Both breeds are highly people-oriented and not suited to being left alone all day.
-
If you want a slightly quieter, dog-like lap companion, the Burmese is a wonderful choice.
-
If you want an especially vocal, highly interactive cat that will hold up its end of a "conversation," the Siamese may be the better fit.
Either way, Sue is happy to talk through which breed and personality will suit your household.
