Overview

The Ocicat is a breed of cat that was developed to resemble a wild cat, but with a friendly, outgoing personality. 

Temperament

The Ocicat is an active, playful, and affectionate breed of cat. They are known for their outgoing and sociable personalities and enjoy being around people. These cats are intelligent and curious, and they love to explore their environment. They are also highly trainable and can learn tricks and respond to commands.

Ocicats are generally good with children and other pets, but they can be a bit shy around strangers. They are not typically lap cats, but they do enjoy spending time with their human companions and being petted.

Lifespan

The Ocicat has an average lifespan of 12-15 years, although with proper care and nutrition, some cats have been known to live into their late teens or early twenties.

Shedding

The Ocicat has a short, smooth coat that is easy to maintain. These cats are moderate shedders and typically require minimal grooming. Regular brushing can help remove loose hair and prevent matting, but otherwise, they do not require much grooming.

Kittens

Ocicat kittens are known for their active and playful personalities. They are highly social and require plenty of attention and socialization to become well-adjusted adult cats. Ocicat kittens are typically ready to go to their new homes at around 12-16 weeks of age. They are usually litter-trained, vaccinated, and microchipped.

When adopting an Ocicat kitten, it is important to find a reputable breeder and ensure that the kitten's parents have been health screened for any genetic health issues, such as kidney or heart disease. These cats are generally healthy, but they can be prone to dental problems and obesity, so it is important to provide regular dental care and feeding them high-quality food. It is also important to provide plenty of socialization and training to help the kitten develop into a well-behaved and well-adjusted adult cat.
