An
explanation about Ivory kittens in an Ocicat litter -
Every
now and then an Ocicat
breeder may find one or more of these
beautiful kittens in a litter. The
ivory kittens are born white with 'ghost'
spotting in fawn on its body. It is the result of the Siamese
gene that was
instrumental in the development of the Ocicat from the very beginning
of the breed. The
ivory will develop colour on the face, ears, legs and tail much as
a Siamese kitten does.
The
spotting on its body will
become
more pronounced as it matures.
The
ivory kitten has blue eyes which are retained into adulthood, just
like the Siamese. They
are not
registerable as Ocicats as they have blue eyes (Ocicats should
have either gold or green eyes) and their spots
are softer than the regular Ocicat. Their noses and paw-pads are
pink.
In
the
USA they are highly prized as a very rare and strikingly
beautiful cat.
They
are often a little larger than
the spotted
Ocicat and seem to be stronger and if possible, even more robust than
the spotted Ocicat.

We
know it has been a long time
but mum’s camera has been broken nearly all year now and she has been
too hopeless to get it fixed and send you some photos of how pretty I
turned out but we finally got a couple of me and my big sister Paulie
Walnuts.
I am very happy here although
Paulie and I sometimes fight but she is just set in her ways and
sometimes needs a bit of a shakeup which I am more than happy to give.
Mum and Dad have built an enclosure in the little back yard so I am
allowed out in the garden to play - which I do and I love hiding and
leaping out at anything .... particularly bugs that fly too close to my
nose.

I am
a very fast hunter these
days and mum is very proud of me when I catch lizards from the backyard
and bring them inside. I like to play with them but she usually
takes them off me and puts them back outside in the little
garden. That’s ok, I am so fast that I will catch them again
later.
They
named me Kwai when I
arrived home but I also get called a multitude of other names like:
Cherry Blossom, Waffle Biscuit, Squinky, Lemon Jelly, White mouse,
Biffin and Butters, but that is Dad, (I think he is just a bit old and
forgets my name sometimes so I don’t mind, plus he gives me lots of
cuddles and tickles my ears).
I
have been to the vet a few
times but nothing bad just check ups and shots. You will be proud
to know I was very well behaved and ALL of the vets and nurses fell in
love with me and said how cute I was. I showed off a little but I
think they liked it because everyone laughed and patted me.
I still
love cuddles very much
and I like to know EXACTLY what is going on. I have helped wrap
all the Christmas presents for my first Christmas and I think that
curly ribbon is just WONDERUL. Mum was very happy with my added
touches, although at the time she seemed to be getting a bit
frustrated, I think that she was just a bit tired from all the
shopping though.
.
Anyway, I
really just wanted you
to know that for my first Christmas I am very happy and healthy and am
still on at mum to fix the camera so some REALLY nice photos can be
taken to show you how pretty and bright eyed I am.
I hope you have a wonderful
Christmas filled with lots of love and purrs
Love from
Kwai (or Butters, Biffin etc)
All the best also from Kellie
and Matt the very proud owners of a beautiful and very loving, friendly
and delightfully crazy Ocicat.

Nola,
I
thought
you might be interested to see a photo I took this morning.
We
renamed Amber as Ginger, as
Koko and Ginger seem to fit nicely
together. (Koko is a chocolate Burmese boy from
Crystal and Harry)
Ginger has developed quite prominent spots on her sides and is the real
Miss
Personality. I call her the Princess.
She talks
all the time, whereas Koko is just content to let
things happen,
and hardly ever says a word.
Regards,
Peter

Nola,
I thought you might like a current photo of a relaxed Koko and
Ginger, now that their first birthday has passed.

Nola, as you can see, all is well in the land of
cats! Regards, Peter
OZSPOTS CAILEN 
He
is such a sweetheart. He is the happiest when someone is
paying attention to him.
Not afraid of small kids,
nor loud noises nor the unknown.
He is adorable

Cailean is still getting darker
.. but
the spots are not really coming out more
He has
gotten darker and darker. Most people can see his spots now but they
have not developed on the front. Still adorable as ever and we love
watching him catch a flie. He makes the funniest noises ever! Well you
know the sound anyway :-) Melanie and Denis
January 27, 2006
I
finally got a photo where you can see Caileans spots
a little bit better. somehow they always dissapear on the photo's, but
not this time!
I
saw that this time there was only 1 ivory
- I love mine and I am sure that others will fall in love with
the little white ones as much as I have :-)

Here
is a picture of the two new additions to my family. Both are
happy, healthy and putting on weight (too much, actually!). They look like little angels - but
don't be deceived.
Happy
Easter,
Patty.
