FAQs

Are Ocicats good pets?

Yes, Ocicats are excellent pets known for being friendly, social, affectionate, and highly devoted to their families. They form strong bonds with their favourite person while also being sociable with children, strangers, and other pets, making them great companions for active households or families with multiple pets.

Are Ocicats high maintenance?

Ocicats require significant mental and physical stimulation due to their high energy and intelligence. They need plenty of interactive play, rotating toys, and even leash training for outdoor exploration. Without adequate activity and enrichment, they can become bored and develop behavioural issues. Additionally, weekly grooming and sufficient space to exercise are important to keep them happy and healthy.

What are the cons of the Ocicat?

Ocicats require extensive daily interaction and mental stimulation, which might be challenging for less active owners. They are not suited for very calm or quiet households since they are vocal and highly active. They have a genetic predisposition to heart disease, necessitating regular veterinary check-ups. Ocicats prefer companionship and do not do well if left alone for long periods, making them somewhat demanding compared to other cats.

Can Ocicats be left alone?

Ocicats can be left alone for a few hours but generally do not like extended periods of solitude. They thrive best in homes where they have company, either from their humans or other pets, to meet their social and activity needs. Providing enrichment and interactive toys helps them cope better when alone.
