The Ocicat was developed as a purely man-made agouti spotted Breed of cat of moderate type. This was achieved by interbreeding of a mix of Abyssinian, Siamese and American Shorthair. As such, it is a domestic breed, which was selectively bred to emulate the spotted cats found in the wild, but retaining the lovable disposition of the domestic.
