Ocicat Discoveries: Think & Discuss
The Ocicat is a fascinating example of selective breeding, where humans choose specific traits to create new animal varieties. Unlike many domestic cats, Ocicats were bred to look like wild cats, but they are fully domesticated. Their intelligence and playful nature, often compared to dogs, show how diverse cat personalities can be. This blend of wild looks and friendly behavior makes them unique in the cat world.
If you could breed a new animal, what two animals would you combine and what special traits would it have?

Read the size clue
An Ocicat is a medium-sized cat. Its width is about 46.0 cm (460mm), which is like the length of a standard ruler and a half. From its head to its tail, an Ocicat can be 25.0 cm (250mm) tall, similar to the height of a tall book. Its depth, or how wide it is from front to back, is around 12.0 cm (120mm), which is about the size of a small juice box. Remember, an Ocicat is about as long as your arm from shoulder to fingertip!
