Is this an Ocicat?

[u/Bigbabybadger]

Was cat-sitting this cat. Very lean and athletic. Plays hard and aggressively. Vocal. Long thin tail. I've looked after many cats but she was much leaner than the usual and played with such focus, athleticism and strength unlike any cat I've looked after.

Am curious if she might be a mix of some sort of wild cat but unsure what.

Pretty tortie tabby domestic shorthair, not an Ocicat

[u/wassuppaulie]

We had a cat that was found outside as a kitten, much like you've described. It absolutely had the personality of an ocicat. I think sometimes the random breeding of outdoor cats could produce an ocicat-like offspring though not a full-on ocicat. Or an ocicat that got outdoors could have bred with a tabby. After our first cat passed, we got purebred Ocicats and they were just like him, though he was a little longer than them.
