Instructions

  • Step 1:
    Count the spots. Ocicats are known for their spot-covered fur. People breed these cats to imitate the natural spotting patterns of some wild cats.
  • Step 2:
    Watch the walls. Ocicats are athletic and active cats. They participate in physically strenuous play habits. When their owners restrict them, they climb the walls or curtains.
  • Step 3:
    Look for your dogs. Ocicats are sometimes considered very dog-like felines. They are playful in a manner similar to dogs, and exhibit a very similar loyalty as well as the general desire to be physically close to their family members.
  • Step 4:
    Check your vet bill. Most ocicats are very healthy. The mixture of breeding and active lifestyles leaves many ocicat owners without significant vet expenses.
  • Step 5:
    Teach an old cat new tricks. Ocicats are generally highly intelligent. They learn rules, respond to vocal commands, play games and can walk on leashes.

Tips & Warnings

  • People breed ocicats for their exotic spotting patterns largely as a means to reduce poaching and other harm done to animals that have these spots. With the ocicat, there is a safe way to have a wild-looking cat in a domestic environment.
