Ocivalley Ocicats-The Domestic Cat with Wild Spots

Australian Ocicats

We are exclusive breeders of the rare, wild-looking spotted Ocicats.

The domestic cat with no wild blood but the spotted look of an Ocelot! (hence the name Ocicat)

Ocivalley is a hobby cattery, it is not a business.

Ocivalley cattery is in Grantville, South Gippsland, Victoria, Australia

I believe the kittens will be classed as tawny spotted.

As you can see the boy on the left is almost black while the others have nice warm, dark-brown spots

Here is a test mate pedigree for the kittens courtesy of Pawpeds

E-mail from Robyn in Tasmania Hello Sue, Sorry I have taken so long to send you some photo's of our baby, I have been very busy this week and when I haven't been Hershey has had me pinned down so he can have all my attention. He loves to sit on my chest and sing me a song, lucky I'm well padded, bit hard to watch tele with him sitting there though lol. When he hasn't got mine or the boys attention Paul included, he has had fun chasing Kira all around the house, they woke my eldest up at 5am this morning little buggers, he thought he stay up and play his xbox until I caught him and told him to go back to sleep, apparently Hershey was washing his face for him, he HAD slept most of the night in my bed. 7 o'clock this morning he and Kira were chasing each other up and down the hallway in and out of the boys rooms, so much for telling them to have a sleep in, Hershey and Kira had other ideas. He certainly is a little character, very persistent, after only two/three days he had worn Kira's resolve to hate him down. Basically he pestered the sh## out of her until she gave in, very funny to watch, it really didn't take her long to give into him, to his constant play with me gestures. She was hissing at him, growling at him and not letting him near the food bowl, vacating the chair when he came and sat on it, and generally being jealous and not prepared to share. She will now sit in the same chair curled up with him, Paul managed to get them both sitting with him either side of him in his chair, something he was determined to do so that he could stir me about it. She will now curl up and sleep with him happily, groom him and now even lets him move her head out of the way of the food bowl, he certainly does enjoy his tucker.	Kira went to live with Robyn and family last year, she has now been joined by Hershey in March this year.
E-mail from Simon and Katy Just thought we'd give you a quick update on our little (or not so little now) kittens. They're doing very well, full of confidence. Otto's a monkey trapped in a cat's body. His favourite trick is scaling unsuspecting legs and torsos, perching himself on your shoulder and then purring loudly. Kala is the more independent of the two and most definitely less of a handful. Our dog Ruski has accepted them both into the family. It took a bit over a week of acclimatising them but they now all get along in perfect harmony. We've attached a link to a video of little Otto and Ruski playing together:	Take a look at this 30 sec video: http://vimeo.com/4426402
	E-mail from Rachel in Brisbane I've got a few more (photos) attached to this email - I am relaxing on my bed surfing the net on my laptop - and the boys love coming up and laying all over me and the keyboard =0 not sure how I am supposed to get any surfing done then! Ha Ha Ha! My bedroom is at the front of the house, and there is a long hallway to the kitchen and lounge. Huck and Bear hear Ronen and Lachlan running up the hallway and sit waiting looking at the open door for them to appear and play with them. It's gold! I don't know who entertains who more!I just can't believe how they come to being called! They are either really obedient or just love being with people so much! I absolutely love them Sue.. they are just such a joy to our family which is really needed at the moment.

E-mail from Jenny and Simon Hi Sue - Girls are doing great... Hannah is now 2.7kilos (5 months) (she's a very big girl) and Tillie is 1.8kilos (3 months).... They are both getting very good at retrieving their mouse... they find you even if you have changed places... very clever girls... Hannah is definitely the hunter of the two and Tillie is the adventurer, boy can she jump and climb... I think Hannah struggles a little with the big jumps as she is so much heavier.... Their play time is a combo of wrestle mania, roller derby, and formula 1.... it certainly is entertaining.... thought you might like a few new photos...	Hannah and Tillie on Jenny's lap

E-mail from Chloe in Melbourne "....They always fight over my lap too. I try to put them both on my lap together, because Mylo is so small still so i can get them both on there but Link always moves his tail for the first few minutes so this causes Mylo to bite it, then Link cracks it after so long and jumps off my lap. Sometimes it works out and they sleep on my lap for a while together, i love it when they do that. That's what happened when i sat down to write this email, Link won the battle this time. He's on my lap and Mylo is sitting next to myself and the laptop. Once Mylo progresses into adulthood i think her and Link will be the best of mates. Anyway iv attached a couple of photos for you. You can definitely see the love in these two! Thank you for a beautiful cat. I'm so glad its all worked out..."

As soon as you sit down, that means there is a lap available	I thought I would have a quiet cup of tea and watch a movie...with a few kittens!
What are they watching?	How many can fit on one chair?

Sweet and innocent aren't they?	But if you leave the pantry door open........

Note that while Otto is playing with the pen, Tillie is about to bite his tail	"Yes you did", "No I didn't"

I can fit your whole head in my mouth!	Nothing is more relaxed than a sleeping cat. This is Trev.

I had the good fortune to visit an International Cat Show in San Francisco, USA. Over 800 cats present	This is the activity centre
