Are Ocicat cats rare?

No, Ocicat cats are not extremely rare, although they are relatively uncommon. They are recognized and bred by several cat registries, including The International Cat Association (TICA) and the Cat Fanciers’ Association (CFA), but are not as widely known or as numerous as some more established breeds like the Siamese or Maine Coon. Still, Ocicats have a dedicated following of breeders and pet parents who appreciate their striking looks, playful temperament, and affectionate nature.
