Which cat breed is right for you?
The Ocicat was created entirely by accident in 1964 when a Michigan breeder crossed Siamese and Abyssinian cats, producing a spotted kitten that resembled a wild ocelot. Despite its exotic appearance, the Ocicat has no wild blood whatsoever. This muscular, athletic cat weighs 6–15 pounds and boasts a short, satiny coat covered in distinctive thumb-shaped spots arranged in a classic bull's-eye pattern, available in twelve recognized colors from tawny to lavender silver.
Ocicats are exceptionally social, dog-like cats that greet visitors at the door, play fetch, and can be trained to walk on a leash. They are highly intelligent and demand interaction — this is not a breed that does well left alone for long hours. Their confident, outgoing nature makes them wonderful companions for active families with children and other pets.

The Russian Blue is a naturally occurring breed believed to have originated in the port city of Arkhangelsk (Archangel) in northern Russia, arriving in Europe aboard trade ships in the 1860s. This medium-sized cat weighs 7–12 pounds and is renowned for its dense, plush double coat of uniform blue-gray with silver-tipped guard hairs that give it a luminous shimmer. Its vivid emerald-green eyes, wedge-shaped head, and enigmatic "Mona Lisa smile" complete an unmistakably elegant look.
Russian Blues are gentle, reserved cats that are intensely loyal to their families yet cautious around strangers. They are creatures of habit who thrive on routine — eating at the same time, playing in the same spots, and sleeping in their preferred perch. Once bonded, they are affectionate and playful, often fetching toys and entertaining themselves with quiet grace.
Charmed by those emerald eyes and silver-tipped fur? Find Russian Blue cats ready for their forever homes on Puplister.
