Meet the Ocicat Resulting from the crossing of a ruddy-coated Abyssinian with a seal point Siamese, the Ocicat resembles a wild cat. However, the Ocicat has no relationship with the its namesake—the Ocelot. This first Ocicat kitten grew into a large, ivory-colored cat with golden spots and copper eyes. Later breeding included the original cross with the addition of the American Shorthair, which broadened the genetic base. Ocicats were accepted for Championship show in 1986. The active and acrobatic Ocicat is a medium to large cat, with a long, muscular, strong body. The legs are medium to long and very muscular. The distinctive tabby "M" appears on the forehead and extends over the head. It breaks into small spots at the lower neck and shoulders. The Ocicat always has spots but comes in a number of color varieties from tawny, the brown-spotted tabby, to lavender silver and fawn silver. Chocolate and cinnamon combinations are seen as well.
