Ocicats

Ocikats are a breed of domestic cat distinguished by their spotted coat pattern and muscular build. The name "Ocikats" is derived from the Ocicat breed's spotted appearance, which is reminiscent of an ocelot, though they have no wild ocelot or other wild cat ancestry. The breed was developed in the United States in the 1960s.

Ocikats are known for their outgoing and friendly personalities. They are often described as being dog-like in their affection and enjoy being involved in family activities. They are intelligent cats and can be trained to perform tricks or walk on a leash. Their playful nature often continues into adulthood.

The breed comes in a variety of colors, including tawny, chocolate, cinnamon, blue, lavender, and fawn. The characteristic spots are typically oval or round and contrast sharply with the lighter background color. The Ocicat's coat is short, sleek, and requires minimal grooming.

Physically, Ocikats are medium to large cats with a well-muscled body, a wedge-shaped head, and large, expressive eyes. Their ears are medium-sized and set fairly low on the head. They have a long, tapering tail and a relatively short, smooth coat. The breed standard emphasizes a balance of size and musculature without being overly heavy.
