This magnificent spotted cat never fails to steal the show, not to mention the hearts of those fortunate enough to own them.
The ideal Ocicat is a large, active animal with an athletic appearance. It is very solid and well muscled and has a short, tight coat with a satin sheen that shows off muscles and spots to their best advantage.
The first Ocicat occurred quite by accident. In 1964, Virginia Daly was working to develop an Aby-pointed Siamese. Her plan was to cross the Abyssinian with the Siamese and breed the best back to the Siamese. The ivory kitten with the golden spots was a surprise! Mrs. Daly's daughter named the breed the Ocicat because of its resemblance to the ocelot. When Dr. Clyde Keeler expressed his desire to see a domestic cat that would mimic some of the vanishing wild species, the breeding was repeated to produce more Ocicats. They went one step further by introducing the American shorthair for substance and it's Silver gene.
