Breed Information
The Ocicat is an all-domestic breed of cat which resembles a wild cat but has no wild DNA in its gene pool. It has a spotted tabby coat, and is named for its resemblance to the Ocelot. The breed was established by crossbreeding the Siamese and Abyssinian, and later on American Shorthair would be added.
The Ocicat was created spontaneously by Virginia Daly , who in 1964 attempted to breed a cat with the mixed features of the typical reddish-brown ticked tabby pattern of a black Abyssinian and the oriental-build of the Siamese. Through various breedings one of the kittens had cinnamon-coloured spots on an ivory background. Virginia's daughter said he looked like an ocelot and wished to name him 'ocicat'. Daly refocused her breeding program towards the recreation of this spotted tabby wild-appearing cat. A further step involved incorporating the American Shorthair to enhance body structure, bone density, and to introduce the breed’s silver colouring gene.
Their temperament is often described as that of a "dog in a cats body". Most can be trained to fetch, walk on a leash and harness, come when called, speak, sit, lie down on command and other canine-style tricks.
