The Ocicat looks wild, but has a completely domestic cat background. The first Ocicat was the result of Virginia Daly attempting to create an agouti-pointed cat by crossing an Abyssinian (for the point color) to a Siamese. What she got was a spotted cat and the beginnings of the Ocicat breed. It comes in 12 different colors, each covered in the breed's trademark thumbprint-shaped spots. Learn more at: /breed/ocicat/
Moving is stressful for anyone, but it's even more stressful for your cat. Learn some of the things that you can do to help your cat adapt with less stress to her new home. /cat-talk/moving-with-your-cat/
We continue to celebrate May! Remember to focus not just how your cat does at the show. Learn more about a breed you aren't familiar with. Visit with fanciers both familiar and new. Take some time to show off your cat to spectators. Socialize in the show hall.
Cat Talk occasionally runs articles on featured shows. This time, we feature a new club recently brought a new show back to a galaxy not very far away in Jacksonville, FL. /cat-talk/cfa-show-focus-a-new-hope/

It's May! And with the start of a new show season, we share some thoughts with you. Surround yourself with people who celebrate your wins as if they were their own, who clap for you when you achieve something big or small, and who push you to go even further.
The Cat Fanciers' Associationโthe worldโs oldest and best-known feline registryโpresents its list of the yearโs top pedigreed cat breeds (based on prior year's data).
