Ocicats are absolutely domestic creatures, outwardly very reminiscent of wild cats, but without a drop of "wild" blood. They are interesting in that, being colored like a wild cat, they have the temperament of a domestic cat. The breed got its name because of the resemblance to the ocelot, a predator from the cat family.
Despite their appearance, there is not the slightest sign of "wild" DNA in the Ocicat gene pool. Cats of this breed are a mixture of Siamese and Abyssinian cats, and later the American Shorthair (silver tabby) was added.
Due to their outgoing nature, Ocicats are often compared to dogs. Most of them are easy to train, and if taken seriously, the Ocicat can be taught to bring various objects, respond to the call of the owner, give a voice, sit, lie down and perform many other commands. Active and inquisitive, they are always ready to communicate, both with acquaintances or new people, and with other animals, not forgetting to show who is the real boss in the house.
The first breeder of Ocicats, quite by accident, was Virginia Daly from the American city of Berkeley, Michigan. In 1964, Madame Daly began work on breeding a Siamese cat that combines Abyssinian and point colors.
