	Ocicat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ocicat is a new and still-rare breed of cat which has spots resembling a 'wild' cat and the temperament of a domestic animal, named for its resemblance to the ocelot.
		The first breeder of Ocicats was Virginia Daly, of Berkley, Michigan, who attempted to breed an Abyssinian-pointed Siamese in 1964.
		The first generation of kittens appeared Abyssinian, but the surprising result in the second generation was a spotted kitten, Tonga, nicknamed an 'ocicat' by the breeder's daughter.

	Ocicat
		The Ocicat was recognized for CFA registration in 1966, but it took another twenty years to develop the breed and gain the support for provisional status.
		Most Ocicats are also quite extroverted around strangers, not at all bashful about checking out the possibilities for a few playmates or a lap to curl up on when visitors come to call.
		Ocicats come in many colors and at least all those colors associated with the three foundation breeds: tawny, chocolate, cinnamon, blue, lavender, fawn, silver, chocolate silver, cinnamon silver, blue silver, lavender silver, and fawn silver.

	Cats and Kittens Magazine Ocicat Breed Profile
		In a late-'70s newsletter to prospective ocicat fanciers, Daly explained that one reason for the breed's spotty progress was a pet limitation ordinance passed by the town council where she lived.
		Blue ocicats have blue spots on a pale blue or buff ground; lavender ocicats have lavender spotting on a pale buff or ivory ground; a fawn's spots are set in a pale ivory ground, and an ebony silver's spots are fl on a pale silver/white ground.
		Ocicats have been described as "almost dog-like in their devotion to humans" and "very eager to please the people they own." Breeders also report that ocicats are voice sensitive.

		Too, the ocicat is an agouti or “ticked” breed, courtesy of her Abyssinian ancestors; look closely and you’ll see that each hair is decorated with bands of alternating color, ending with a dark tip.
		Ocicats are active, curious and athletic, and have a highly honed hunting instinct.
		Ocicats are generally hardy, healthy cats but like their Abyssinian and Siamese ancestors can be prone to certain hereditary disorders and illnesses, such as gingivitis.

		The Ocicat is special because it is a cat descended exclusively from pedigreed domestic ancestors that were selectively bred to resemble a jungle cat.
		The first Ocicat I bred, GC Saga Calamity Jane, taught me how to fetch when she was only four months old, and because of her desire to see the outdoors she made it clear that she was also adaptable to the leash.
		The Ocicat clearly answers the wish many cat fanciers have for a large, imposing cat: one that resembles the spotted cats of the wild yet displaying the gentle temperament of a domestic cat.

	About Ocicats (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Ocicats originate from the pedigreed ancestry of the Abyssinian, Siamese and American Shorthair with no wild cat mixed in.
		Care of an Ocicat is the same as for any other domestic cat as they require only premium food, fresh water, a warm comfortable home, and lots of love.
		Most common among them are the classics who display the lovely bullseye striped pattern common to American Shorthairs; the solids who are similar in appearance to panthers, displaying a more solid color with a "ghosting" of spots; and smokes displaying coloring similar to solids with white at the base of each hair near the skin.

		Ocicats are the best of both worlds: the feral look of a wild jungle cat, without the wild cat blood and thus, none of the problems associated with raising an animal that has wild blood.
		The Ocicat looks wild and displays the characteristics of the wild cats in the jungle, but the temperament of the Ocicat is that of a true "pussy cat." It is a lot like a dog in that it is absolutely devoted to its people.
		The Ocicat is also a consummate hunter, lion-like in repose but when a possible prey is presented they are like lightning with their attention.
