My Encyclopedia of American Cat Breeds has let me down on this one - the breed isn't listed, so I'm not sure of its status. I do know that the person who owns ChinaCat cattery breeds Ocicats. You might want to give her a call and visit the cattery if its ok with her, or look her up at an upcoming show. Sandy | |||||

ocicats are a man-developed breed, but they breed "true" - which means that you need two ocicats to create more ocicats. Breeders may be found in your area by checking the listings in the back of Cat Fancier Magazine, of by contacting the Cat Fanciers Assoc. - a breeder in this notes conference should be able to offer a number to call to get more information on breeders. Contrary to popular mythology, the ocicat is NOT created from wild stock bred back into a domestic breed....the cat's distinctive markings are the result of selective breeding of domestic cats to get the characteristic coat. Ocicats are known to be very active and curious cats, compact and agile in body, with a "modified cobby" body type, rather than the elegant oriental body type. They are a real handful. I know about the personality from personal experience, my friends just bought a 3 month bundle of mischeif named Cory - a lovely tawny little cat, with spots all over her back and sides, and big golden eyes. She is a delightful, beautiful kitten, but she does wreck havoc on a regular basis. If you are interested in breeding cats, please first talk to your vet about the veterinary considerations and expenses of starting a cattery, and spend some time reading this conference to understand the requirements involved in setting up your "stud room" and what to expect from unneutered cats - particularly their expected behavior. It can become quite expensive and time-consuming...and heartbreaking. It is best to become educated before you start, rather than learning the hard way. | |||||

You should also know that the presence of unneutered cats also effects
neutered cats. Neutered males who have never sprayed or marked may be
influenced to start by the presence of a female in heat.
Make sure you have a good idea of what you're getting into before you
start AND KNOW the potential problems associated with your breed so
that you don't inadvertently breed them in. E.G. Scottish folds can
have skeletal problems if not bred carefully.
