Description, copied from the now-dead PetzGallery: Although they have a similar pattern to the Egyptian Mau, the agouti spotted Ocicat is a hybrid developed in the U.S. in the early 1960s, from Siamese, Abyssinian, and American Shorthair breeds. It contains no wild blood! It resembles the long-extinct Egyptian spotted fishing cat in its markings of thumbprint-shaped spots scattered across sides, shoulders, and hindquarters. Found in 12 colors - including blue, chocolate, cinnamon, fawn, lavender, silver and silver versions of the other colors - the Ocicat's coat features darker spots on a lighter background.
A rather large breed, the Ocicat has a well-knit, muscular body and a short, shiny coat. The large alert ears, slightly slanted almond eyes and a strong, square muzzle complete the picture of a cat that looks as if it would be more at home in a Tarzan movie than in your living room.
While the Ocicat looks wild, its temperament is anything but ferocious. It is a lot like a dog in that it is absolutely devoted to its people. The Ocicat is not a demanding, clinging-vine type, but is confident as well as dedicated to its owners. Most Ocicats are also quite extroverted around strangers, not at all bashful about checking out the possibilities for a few playmates or a lap to curl up on when visitors come to call. They are very sociable and tolerate other cats, and dogs.
