Ocicat

Though the patterning on the coat definitely sometimes rings true to its wild Mexican and Central American distant cousin, the Ocicat is really not part Ocelot! In reality, the spots of this cat were achieved through selective breeding of Abyssinian, Siamese and American Shorthair stock. Despite not being a real jungle cat, the Ocicat is definitely a real fine pet.. quite outgoing and friendly, and an excellent family member. They are available in various patterns, though only the spotted patterns may be shown, and in several different colors.
