「Active, Agile, Curious, Demanding, Friendly, Gentle, Lively, Playful, Social」
The Ocicat is an all-domestic breed of domestic cat which resembles a wild cat but has no (recent) wild DNA in its gene pool. It has a spotted tabby coat, and is named for its resemblance to the ocelot. The breed was established by crossbreeding the Siamese and Abyssinian, and later on American Shorthair would be added.

歐西貓，又譯奧西貓，是一種在美國育種而成的家貓，以身上的斑紋神似虎貓（Ocelot）而得名，但是它與虎貓之間沒有血源關係。它由阿比西尼亞貓和暹羅貓育種而成，之後也加入了美国短毛猫的血統。1987年，美國愛貓者協會 正式登錄這個品種，隨後其他各國的相關協會也已經將它列名在純種貓的名冊中。

🌿健康
In a review of over 5,000 cases of urate urolithiasis in the US, the Ocicat had a much higher incidence rate than most other breeds with an odds ratio of 16.8. A Swedish study of pyometra in cats based on veterinary and insurance data found the Ocicat to have the third highest incidence of the condition with it being six times the rate for all cats.
👁形貌
The Ocicat is a medium to large cat with agouti tabby markings. It has the appearance of an athletic animal: well-muscled and lithe. The muzzle is broad and well defined with gentle curvature of the head. Ears are set around a 45-degree angle. The eyes are large and almond shaped with good spacing so there is more than an eye-width gap between the two. All eye colours are accepted, bar blue. Legs are of medium to long length and well-muscled with a good proportion to the body. The tail is long, slim with a slight taper and has a dark tip. Adult Ocicats weigh between 2.5–6.5 kg (6–14 lb).

📜源流
The Ocicat was created spontaneously by Virginia Daly (Dalai) of Berkley, Michigan, US, who in 1964 attempted to breed a cat with the mixed features of the typical reddish-brown ticked tabby agouti pattern of a black Abyssinian and the oriental-built with colourpoint pattern of the Siamese. Daly bred a black ('ruddy') ticked tabby Abyssinian male, carrying cinnamon, named Dalai Deta Tim of Selene to a female black ('seal') point Siamese named Dalai Tomboy Patter . The first generation of kittens appeared Abyssinian-like, and a female named Dalai She was kept. Dalai She was later bred to a choc
