<p>134.47.109.184: </p> <hr /> <div>[[Image:Ocicat-storm-alersbild.jpg|thumb|Sleeping Ocicat]]<br /> The '''Ocicat''' is a new and still-rare [[cat breeds|breed]] of [[cat]] which has spots resembling a 'wild' cat and the temperament of a [[List of domesticated animals|domestic animal]], named for its resemblance to the [[ocelot]].<br /> <br /> Despite its appearance, there is no 'wild' [[DNA]] in the Ocicat's genepool. The species is actually a mixture of [[Siamese (cat)|Siamese]] and [[Abyssinian (cat)|Abyssinian]], and later [[American Shorthair]]s (silver tabbies) were added to the mix and gave the breed their silver colour, bone structure and distinct markings. <br /> <br /> The first breeder of Ocicats was Virginia Daly, of [[Berkley, Michigan]], who attempted to breed an Abyssinian-pointed Siamese in 1964. The first generation of kittens appeared Abyssinian, but the surprising result in the second generation was a spotted kitten, Tonga, nicknamed an 'ocicat' by the breeder's daughter. Tonga was neutered and sold as a pet, but further breedings of his parents produced more spotted kittens, and became the base of a separate Ocicat breeding program.<br /> Other breeders joined in and used the same recipe, siamese * aby, and offspring * siamese. <br /> Today the ocicat is found all around the world, popular for it's mild temperament but wild appearance. <br /> <br /> There are twelve colours approved for the ocicat breed. Tawny, chocolate and cinnamon, their dilutes, blue, lavender and fawn, and all of them with silver: black silver (ebony silver), chocolate silver, cinnamon silver, blue silver, lavender silver and fawn silver. <br /> ==External links==<br /> {{commons|Ocicat}}<br /> '''Associations''': and their Ocicat Breed Profiles<br /> *[http://www.aaceinc.org/ AACE] - [http://www.aaceinc.org/pages/breeds/oci.htm Breed Profile] - American Association of Cat Enthusiasts<br /> *[http://cfainc.org/ CFA] - [http://cfainc.org/breeds/profiles/ocicat.html Breed Profile] - Cat Fanciers' Association<br /> *[http://www.tica.org/ TICA] - [http://www.tica.org/pdf/standards/ocstd.pdf Breed Profile] (PDF) - The International Cat Association<br /> *[http://www.fifeweb.org/ FIFé] - [http://www.fifeweb.org/wp/breeds/std/oci_std.html Breed Profile] - Fédération Internationale Féline<br /> *[http://www.acfacats.com/ ACFA] - [http://www.acfacats.com/ocicat_standard.htm Breed Profile] - The American Cat Fanciers' Association<br /> '''Miscellaneous''':<br /> *[http://www.catfacts.org/ocicat-cat-facts.htm Ocicat Photos]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Cat breeds]]<br /> <br /> [[fr:Ocicat]]<br /> [[nl:Ocicat]]<br /> [[no:Ocicat]]<br /> [[fi:Ocicat]]<br /> [[sv:Ocicat]]</div>
