Ocicat

This speckled race arose in Michigan in the Sixties, with the accidental mating of a Siamese Point Chocolate with a Siamese hybrid/Abyssinian atigrado point, that was repeated soon deliberately to provide the foundation with the lineage. Although they have been allowed you cross Abyssinians, as of 1995 will only admit legitimate matings with Ocicats. The cat that was of intermediate type, neither dumpy as those of American and European short hair, nor so esbelto as the Eastern ones.

The coat is closed and beaten to the body, but it must be sufficiently long to allow that all the hairs, except those of the end of the tail, take rays of colors.
The pattern is specific. He presents/displays an intrincate ?M? in the forehead, with marks that extend on the head between the ears and they dissolve in spots in the low part of the neck.
The dark edges of the eyes are surrounded by a clearer color and are lines that leave from the eyes and the cheeks.

It has rows of spots throughout the thorn and the iombros to the tail, and spots scattered from shoulders to the back quarters, extended most possible towards the legs with necklaces interrupted on the throat and in the Inferior legs; the tail has horizontal outlines in the high part, ideally alternated with spots.

Body: Hard, enough athletic length and; muscular legs of medium length oval claws; really long tail and slightly narrows towards the end.

Head: It is a modified wedge, with a smooth curve of the snout to the cheek; alert, moderately great ears.

Eyes: Great, almendrados, of all the colors except blue.

Coat: Short, smooth and satin with a bright brightness.

Colors: Reddish, chocolate, cinnamon, blue, lavanda, chamois, silverplated: all these in the silverplated forms, and all printings with spots similar to thumb tracks.
