Guttatus
Ocicats |
|
Guttatus means
spotted in latin. Ocicat is usually a spotted cat, but occasionally also so called classic tabby ocicats are born
- like our Typy here
beside.
The spotted cat resembles
a wild jungle cat, but a tabby cat charms everybody with
the strong pattern of the coat.
The breed got its name ocicat
because it looked a lot like ocelot. |
|
The Ocicat (OCI) is a
spotted cat resembling the big cat of the wild, but without the
wild ancestry. It is bred for the beautiful spotted pattern that
is so necessary to fulfill its wild looks. The OCI is a muscular
breed, and it weighs more than it seems! |

Our first ocicat is
Moona, alias IP Galax Moonlight Serenade. She has also nicknames
like "oci-bunny". Our very first litter was born on the 4th of
March 2000. The lady was Wanda, who sitting in the right side of
Moona in the picture. |
The second litter was born just
before Christmas (17.12.2000). This time the lady was Mami. (Photo:

What
is an Ocicat like? |
|
The nature of an
ocicat is one of the kind. They are very social, sometimes even
too social. They are following you where ever you go at home:
they will read and teach you how to read newspaper.
|
|
Washing the dishes
is also a great jow for the ocis eventhough they just might get
a bit wet with it. Writing with a pen is almost impossible when
an oci is around. The cursor of the mouse in the screen of a
computer drives ocis wild: they are chasing them from the screen
- like it was really a mouse. |
