For fans of social breeds of cats, having fun going to contact with people, an interesting variety - Ocicat was bred. It is a mix of three breeds: Siamese, Abyssinian, and American Shorthair. Due to the unusual shape of the head, ears, and eye shape, this breed looks a bit wild, but it is a really lovely, sociable, and active animal. There is nothing aggressive in them, but a superficial resemblance to the wild ocelot is no more than a joke of nature.
Description of species, its nature
Ocicat is a shorthaired animal of medium or large size. It has a large body due to heavy bones and muscles. Because of these same figures, the average weight of these animals is slightly higher than that of pets of the same size as the other species. Hair color is striking diversity. Since the breed's history began with an unusual weird-looking spotted kitten, then the classic is considered a spotted color. There are 12 allowable colors in the color breed: chocolate, black, cinnamon, purple, blue, fawn, and the same options with a silvery sheen.
A small home "Leopard" does not like to be bored alone. It is always with people. This breed feels the need to communicate and appreciates attention. The cat chooses a pet in the family and follows him closely. This person is not necessarily the owner, any member of the family, the senior and junior, can be elevated to the rank of deity pet.
Ocicat is very mobile. It will not sit as a porcelain figurine but is always looking for adventure. This breed loves to walk. Ocicats' owners can often be found in the street with cats on a leash. These cats are allowed to put on a leash or breech band, easily carry trips in special boxes, and in general, are good companions. They are not rowdy in a way, more importantly, feel close to the owner.
Restless pet learns quickly and easily remembers the rules of the house. It understands what people like and want them to be happy. Therefore, it does not require sophisticated training. The cat would be happy to do what brings joy to its owner.
Care pecularities
The main feature is that there are no special features. The breed is not whimsical and capricious. Its hair does not require combing, since it is short and does not have an undercoat. For this reason, the cats do not shed and cause fewer allergic reactions. Sometimes, wipe the pet's hair with suede cloth, and it will shine and please the eye.
