Accidently, she created a magnificent cat who resembles the spotted wild cats. The Ocicat is a powerful, large, well muscled cat who is very graceful and lithe. Mascara markings are found around the eyes and on the cheeks. Rows of round spots run along the spine from shoulder blades to tail. Large well-scattered, thumbprint spots appear on the sides of the torso.
Broken bracelets appear on the lower legs and throat.
There are twelve accepted Ocicat colors. The spotted patterns are tawny, chocolate, cinnamon, blue, lavender, fawn, silver, chocolate silver, cinnamon silver, blue silver, lavender silver and fawn silver. There are non-spotted patterns as well, including solids and classic or tabby markings. 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.
