Ocicat is an American breed (the first
appeared in 1964) of spoted cat. It was originally a mixture of Siamese
and Abyssinian, with later additions of American Shorthairs.
This is a large, muscular, spotted,
short-haired cat with an ‘average’ body shape, showing no extremes of either
stockiness or angularity. In other words, a domestic cat with a ‘wild-type’
appearance. The typical coloring is light brown or tawny, imitating the
coat of a wild cat species. Other colorings possible.
It is affectionate, friendly, companionable,
athletic, active, acrobatic, attentive, intelligent, loyal, even-tempered
and sweet-natured, easy to train.

chocolate, cinnamon, blue, lavender, fawn, silver, chocolate silver, cinnamon
silver, blue silver, lavender silver, fawn silver.
