Ocicats : Ocicats look like small, wild, spotted cats, but are a domestic breed created by combining the Siamese, Abyssinian and American Shorthair. The typical Ocicat coat is actually a spotted tabby, in colors ranging among tawny, cinnamon and chocolate. Intelligent, devoted and very sociable, these housecats get along well with people, dogs and other cats. Ocicats are bright, easily trained and responsive to voice commands, and readily adapt to household rules. More >> |

Oriental Shorthair : Similar to the Siamese in body type and personality, Oriental Shorthairs do not, however, share the characteristic Siamese coloring. They are slender yet hearty and are generally of a solid color or tabby-patterned in a variety of colors for both the shorthair and longhair varieties. The Oriental Shorthair will remain loyal throughout its life and deserves no less from its human companion.More >> |

Pixie-Bob: The Pixie-Bob is a domestic cat visually resembling the North American Bobcat. Despite its fierce look, the Pixie-Bob is noted for its loving, trustworthy and tractable personality. Heavy brows with bushier hair above the eyes, lynx tipping on the ears and longer "mutton chops" on the cheeks complete the Pixie-Bob's wild look. The tail can measure from 1 to 6 inches in length. Pixie-Bob cats have brown tabby markings on a tan or reddish background and may be polydactyl (having extra toes). More >> |

This sugarcoated cat is ideal for those who lead a quiet, subtle, calm lifestyle. The Russian Blue breed detests noise, confusion, change and surprises. More >> |
