An ocicat is a new breed of cats, derived from crossing a chocolate point Siamese with a hybrid Abyssinian pointed Siamese. An ocicat resembles a 'wild' cat because of it's spotted coloring, but has the temperament of a domestic cat.

Is the Ocicat named after the Ocelot?

Yes. I forgot the name, but the daughter of the owner of the very first Ocicat thought the spotted cat looked very much like an ocelot, so came the name.


Is Ocicat a species?

Yes. Ocicats are a mix of an Ocelot and a domestic cat and the following breeds: Siamese, Abyssinan, American Shorthair. Not correct - there is NO wild cat ancestry in the Ocicat. The Ocicat is a recognised breed of pedigree cat, first developed in the US in the late 1960s. The original cross was Siamese x Abyssinian, then later American SH was used to add the silver colour and to improve the boning. I am an Ocicat breeder in the UK so I do know the breed history and it's a common misconception that the Ocelot was involved. The only link to the Ocelot is that the original breeder thought the spotted kittens resembed Ocelots, hence the name "Ocicat".
