Ocicats (pronounced Oss-e-cat) are the wild looking cat with NO wild blood. Originally created from Siamese and Abyssians in the 1960's with American Shorthairs brought in later for the silver colouring. Ocicats have a sweet, loving temperament - they only look wild.

The Ocicat coat pattern is unique, stunning thumb print shaped spots all over the body, forming a bullseye on the sides. Their short satiny coat requires very little grooming. A quick brush every now and then is all that's needed.
Ocicats are large, well muscled cats. Females range in size from 3-5kg, males 6-8kg or larger. They are usually fully grown by 18-24 months.

Ocicats are very active, and often described as dog like. Ocicats are extremely intelligent, very social cats, they like to be where the action is and will usually follow room to room to see what's happening. Very friendly and outgoing, mine all greet visitors at the door. They get along very well with other pets and children. Ocicats are fun to be around, they will enchant you with their antics.
