Jean takes personal hygiene very seriously 🐆🧼

❤️ it’s so freaking cute (watching love is blind Netherlands in the background) 😂

It's Spoturday (I decided), and I want to look at some lovely Ocicats! Share some pictures of your cool cats right here in the comments, and let's all bask in their glory 🐆😌

I'll start! These are my boys, Jean and Minimus. ✨️

She is not fat. Lady rests on a pile of unfolded socks...

Don't you just hate it when you're trying to sleep and someone shoves their feet in your face?

Max(imilian) - because of the Max Ears.

And his half-sister Mia from the litter before...

She’s just always excited to see me. 🤗

Anybody know if Catiators is still breeding? Our last Oci was through Jucha who doesn’t seem to be breeding anymore but I see Catiators in our cats bloodlines so tried emailing but haven’t had a response. I can try calling too but wanted to check in on Reddit! Thanks.

(Pic of our oci from Jucha 16 years ago!)

I really want an Ocicat. One breeder said their kittens are $700, but they let them go home at 8 weeks, which I read is a bad idea. Their website also claims they’re CFA certified, but they’re not listed on CFA. Lots of red flags… anyone have experience with them? Purrfurdots in PA. Other breeders you know of below $1k? I’m willing to travel. Also willing to adopt one or a retired breeder. Must be a female.

Hi everyone. I’m hoping to hear from people who have direct experience with either Cosmic Spot or Megadots Ocicats.

I’ve done a lot of research on Ocicat breeders and these two keep coming up as top-tier, reputable breeders. That said, I’m finding it surprisingly hard to locate a centralized place where people share longer-term experiences or reviews, especially when it comes to Megadots. Cosmic Spot seems to get mentioned more often, but even then most of what I find is scattered across forums, social media comments, or older threads.

If you’ve gotten an Ocicat from either breeder or have firsthand knowledge, I’d really love to hear:

• How the temperament and socialization turned out over time

• Health and communication with the breeder

• How the kitten adjusted to new environments, people, or other pets

• Anything you wish you’d known beforehand

I’m not price-sensitive and I’m really focused on temperament, health, and long-term support from the breeder. I feel confident in the research I’ve done so far, but hearing real owner experiences would be incredibly helpful in making a final decision.

Thanks in advance. I really appreciate any insight people are willing to share.

I am a new Ocicat-Mama as they are very little known where I am from.

I got her when she was 12 weeks old, as she was the last of her litter not beeing picked up on Adoption day though reserved.

So this is Mia (she was already named).

With her onebraincell-buddy Ethan, a chocolate Burmese, who was why we actually came to adoption day. But there was this little orange baby complaining and we left with both.

Ethan is not that happy. All he wants to do is cuddle and sleep and Mia is my squirrle on ADSD-Meds.

Was cat-sitting this cat. Very lean and athletic. Plays hard and aggressively. Vocal. Long thin tail. I've looked after many cats but she was much leaner than the usual and played with such focus, athleticism and strength unlike any cat I've looked after.

Am curious if she might be a mix of some sort of wild cat but unsure what.

I have an oci boy who is just shy of two. He causes chaos every chance he gets. We have a ton of toys for him and spaces for him to perch but he still gets bored - what are your top toy recommendations to keep trouble makers busy?

Things I need to know about the breed would be very helpful.

Screamy (1st photo left) and Fungus (1st photo right) are rescue cats that were found in Arkansas and brought to MN.

They’re both very long and lanky; much taller than our ‘regular ol’ cats. They’re very active and can jump farther than I’ve seen any other cat jump. They’re also extremely talkative and demanding affection-wise.

I realize they don’t really have the typical spotted coat, and that a hard ID is impossible without papers, especially from photos, but I wanted to get some takes on what they might be, since they at least seem to have a little secret sauce thrown in the mix.
