Short description

The Ocicat has a wild appearance but she has a gentle character and is the ideal pet cat. She is eager to learn and can learn one or the other trick. She is adaptable and even likes water. She does not like to be left alone. Because of her urge to move she needs access to the outdoors. She wants to be challanged mentally and physically. Then she can become a loyal and soft family-cat.

This information is indicative and adheres to the breed standard. Each animal is an individual and has a personal character, as well as its own needs. Thus, a breed is not a guarantee of certain behaviors, etc.
