Ocicat vs Oriental Shorthair

The Ocicat looks like a small wild ocelot but has a thoroughly domestic temperament. Created entirely from domestic breeds — Siamese, Abyssinian, and American Shorthair — this spotted beauty combines an exotic appearance with a confident, dog-like personality. Intelligent, social, and devoted, Ocicats are the ideal breed for those who want wild looks with a loving, household-friendly disposition.

The Oriental Shorthair is essentially a Siamese in a rainbow of colors and patterns. With over 300 possible color and pattern combinations, sleek lines, and an outgoing personality, Orientals are the extroverts of the cat world. They share the Siamese intelligence and social nature, wrapped in a dazzling variety of non-pointed coat colors that make every one unique.
