Introduction: ʻO ka Ocicat ma ke ʻano he ʻano Feline Unique
ʻO ka Ocicat kahi pua puaʻa hoihoi i ʻike ʻia no kona helehelena ʻokoʻa a me kona ʻano ola. He mea hou kēia ʻano i ka honua popoki, mai ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i nā makahiki 1960. ʻO ka Ocicat kahi ʻano pua i hana ʻia e ka hele ʻana i nā pōpoki Siamese, Abyssinian, a me ʻAmelika Shorthair. He ʻano ʻahuʻula kū hoʻokahi ko ka ʻohana i loaʻa mai e like me ko ka Ocelot hihiu, no laila ka inoa ʻo "Ocicat."
ʻO ka Ocicat kahi ʻano naʻauao a ikaika e hana ai i hoa maikaʻi no ka poʻe e ʻimi nei i kahi pipi pāʻani a pāʻani. ʻIke ʻia kēia mau pōpoki no ko lākou mau ʻano pilikino a makemake e puni i nā kānaka. Hiki ke hoʻomaʻamaʻa maikaʻi ʻia lākou a hiki ke aʻo i nā ʻano hana hoʻopunipuni, e hoʻolilo iā lākou i koho maikaʻi loa no ka poʻe makemake e hoʻomaʻamaʻa i kā lākou mau pōpoki. ʻO ka holoʻokoʻa, ʻo ka Ocicat kahi ʻano hoihoi a kū hoʻokahi e paʻa i ka puʻuwai o ka poʻe a pau e hālāwai me lākou.
Ke kumu a me ka mōʻaukala o ka Ocicat: He Manaʻo pōkole
Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka ʻano Ocicat ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i ka makahiki 1960 e kahi mea hānai i kapa ʻia ʻo Virginia Daly. Ua makemake ʻo Daly e hana i kahi ʻano o ka pōpoki i loaʻa ke ʻano hihiu o kahi Ocelot akā me ke ʻano o ka homecat. No ka hoʻokō ʻana i kēia, ua hele ʻo ia i nā pōpoki Siamese, Abyssinian, a me ʻAmelika Shorthair i kahi papahana hānai koho.
Ua hānau ʻia ka Ocicat mua i ka makahiki 1964, a ua ʻike ʻia ka pua e ka Cat Fanciers 'Association (CFA) i ka makahiki 1987. Mai ia manawa, ua lilo ka Ocicat i ʻano kaulana ma muli o kona ʻano hiʻohiʻona a me kona ʻano pilikino. I kēia lā, ʻike ʻia ka Ocicat e nā papa inoa pōpoki nui, a he nui nā mea hoʻohua a me nā hui hoʻopono i loea i kēia ʻano puaʻa hoihoi.
