The whisker pinch, moderate. Alert, modestly large ears complete the ocicat's head. The ears should be set at the corners of the upper, outside dimensions of the head. At the spots where these bands coalesce, they fashion distinctive, thumbprint-shaped markings composed of dark tones on a lighter background. Rows of spots march along the spine from shoulder blades to tail.
Spots scatter across the shoulders and hindquarters, extending far down the legs.
There are broken bracelets on the lower legs and broken necklaces at the throat - the more broken the better. Even the belly is well spotted. Breeders also report that ocicats are voice sensitive. They don't like being scolded. If reprimanded, they stop what they're doing, and don't repeat the unwanted behavior, at least not right away.
