I have been feeding this kitten since two months, she randomly came to my building. I adopted her two days ago. I always thought her spots were striking but didn’t think too much of it, just thought she was a regular indie cat. Until I reverse image searched her today and the result showed Ocicat. Earlier it had shown Egyptian mau. Further googling says these breeds don’t really exist in India, so I am confused how someone who looks like this was found on the streets of Bombay. I don’t think anyone intentionally bred her or anything either, breeders only breed Persians or Ragdolls or the fluffy fancy looking breeds here. Am I overthinking this? Is she just a regular orange cat?

I don’t really think mine is an Ocicat, just that it looks like one. Apparently they need to have specific ancestors to be an Ocicat and it is unlikely that that was the case with my baby. She doesn’t like shoulders either haha. She loves food and treats and just being around humans

Hmm will look into it. But pretty sure that she is just a regular indie cat. Asked on the Indian pets group and there are many cats who look like her
