==Appearance==
[[File:Ocicat Fond Blanc.jpg|thumb|Chocolate spotted tabby Ocicat]]
The Ocicat is a medium to large cat with [[Cat coat genetics#Agouti|agouti]] markings. It has the appearance of an athletic animal: well-muscled and lithe. The muzzle is broad and well defined with gentle curvature of the head. Ears are set around a 45-degree angle. The eyes are large and almond shaped with good spacing so there is more than an eye-width gap between the two. All eye colours are accepted bar blue. Legs are of medium to long length and well muscled with a good proportion to the body. The tail is long, slim with a slight taper and has a dark tip.<ref name="CFA Standard">{{cite web |title=Ocicat Standard |url=https://cfa.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/ocicat-standard.pdf |website=Cat Fanciers' Association |access-date=25 January 2024}}</ref> Adult Ocicats weigh between 6-14 lbs (2.7-6.4 kg)<ref name="thompson1999"/>
