🐈 KatzenFelis catus
✨ Wissenswertes
The Ocicat was a complete accident — a breeder trying to create an Aby-point Siamese got a spotted kitten, and her daughter named it 'Ocicat' after the wild ocelot.
A spotted breed that looks like a wild ocelot but has no wild DNA — entirely domestic. Muscular, athletic, with spots on a warm agouti background. Large, generous personality; intelligent, trainable, and loves water. Created accidentally from Siamese-Abyssinian crosses.
