ʻO Ocicat (hānau ʻia ʻo Ocicat) kahi lūlū o nā pōpoki kūloko e like me nā pōpoki hihiu, i ʻike ʻia nā ocelots, no ka like i loaʻa ai kona inoa.
I ka mua, ua hoʻohana ʻia nā pōpoki Siamese a me Abyssinian i ka hana ʻia ʻana o ka lāhui, a laila ua hoʻohui ʻia ka American Shorthair (tabby kālā), a hāʻawi lākou iā lākou i ke kala kālā, ke ʻano o ke kino a me nā kiko kikoʻī.
Mōʻaukala o ka lāhui
ʻO Virginia Dale ka mea hānai mua, ʻo Berkeley, Michigan, ka mea i hele aʻe i kahi Abyssinian a me kahi pōpoki Siamese i 1964. Ua hoʻolālā ʻo Dale i kahi hoʻolālā, ʻo nā mea nui o ia mau pōpoki Abyssinian a me kahi pōpoki Siamese nui o nā kala sila sila.
ʻOiai ʻo ke kala o nā pōpoki Abyssinian i hoʻoilina ʻia e ka ʻāpana nui, ua like nā keiki hānau i like me ka Abyssinian, akā ua hāpai pū lākou i nā genes recessive o ka pōpoki Siamese. Ua ulana ʻo Dale i kekahi o nā keiki i hānau ʻia me ka poʻokela, he pōpoki kokoleka Siamese. A i loko o kēia ʻōpala i hānau ai nā keiki keiki, a Dale i makemake ai, no ke kala Abyssinian, akā me nā kiko o ka pōpoki Siamese.
Eia naʻe, ʻo ka ʻōpala aʻe ka mea i manaʻo ʻole ʻia: hānau ʻia kahi keiki kime kupaianaha me nā maka keleawe i loko ona. Ua kapa lākou iā ia ʻo Tonga, a ua kapa ʻia ke kaikamahine a ka haku wahine iā ia ʻo Ocicat, no ke ʻano like me ka ocelot hihiu.
He kū hoʻokahi a nani ʻo Tonga, akā ʻo kā Dale pahuhopu ka hana ʻana i ke keʻa ma waena o Siamese a me Abyssinian, no laila ua kūʻai aku ʻo ia iā ia me he pōpoki pipi. Eia nō naʻe, ma hope, ua haʻi ʻo ia i nā genetics e pili ana iā Clyde Koehler, mai ke Kulanui o Georgia. Ua hauʻoli loa ʻo ia i ka nūhou, ʻoiai makemake ʻo ia e hana hou i ka pōpoki lawaiʻa ʻAigupita, akā ʻaʻole nahelehele, akā home.
Ua hoʻouna ʻo Kohler iā Dale i kahi hoʻolālā kikoʻī no Tonga e lilo i hoʻokumu i kahi lānai hou. Minamina, ʻaʻole kūpono ka hoʻolālā, ʻoiai i kēlā manawa ua hoʻolei ʻia ʻo ia i mua. Eia nō naʻe, ua hānau ʻia kekahi pōpoki ʻike maka, ʻo Dalai Dotson, mai kona mau mākua mai, a ua hoʻomaka hoʻomaka ka moʻolelo o ka lāhui. ʻO ka Dalai ka mea i pani i ko Tonga ma nā ʻano, a lilo i makua kāne o kahi lāhui hou.
ʻO ka Ocicat (Tonga) mua loa o ka honua, i hōʻike ʻia ma kahi hōʻike i mālama ʻia e ka CFA i ka makahiki 1965, a ma 1966 ua hoʻomaka kēia hui e hoʻopaʻa inoa. Ua kākau inoa ʻo Dale iā Dalai Dotson a hoʻomaka i ka hānau ʻana.
ʻOiai ʻo ka like ʻole o nā pōpoki kū hoʻokahi a me ka pīhoihoi, ʻaʻole i ʻōlelo ka mea o ke kākau inoa ʻana i kekahi mea, hiki i ka lāhui ke noho i kona wā liʻiliʻi. Ua hui pū kekahi mau mea hānai ʻē aʻe i ka papahana, e hele ana i nā pōpoki Siamese a me Abyssinian a i ʻole mestizos mai nā pōpoki Siamese.
I ka manawa o ke kau inoa ʻana, ua hana hewa ʻia a ua wehewehe ʻia ka lāhui ma ke ʻano he hybrid ma waena o kahi Abyssinian a me kahi shorthair ʻAmelika. I ka hala ʻana o ka manawa, ua ʻike ʻia ʻo ia a ua hoʻololi ʻia me kahi pōpoki Siamese, akā ua hala mua nā mea hoʻohua me ka American Shorthair. A ʻo ke kala kala nani o kēia mau pōpoki i hoʻoili ʻia i ka lāhui hou.
A i loko o nā hiʻohiʻona o ka Ocicats, ʻike ʻia ka nui a me nā mākala o ka poʻe pōkole, ʻoiai i ka wā mua ua like ka ʻano me nā pōpoki Siamese maikaʻi.
ʻOiai ka hoʻomaka wikiwiki, ʻaʻole wikiwiki ka hoʻomohala ʻana o ka laha. I ka hala ʻana o kanaono mau makahiki, pono ʻo Dale i kahi hiatus 11 makahiki e mālama ai no kekahi ʻohana lālā maʻi. A mai ia manawa ʻo ia ka mea hoʻoikaika i ka hoʻomohala ʻana i kahi ʻano hou, ua hāʻule ka holomua.
A ua hiki hou iā ia ke hoʻi iā ia i nā makahiki kanawalukumamāiwa wale nō, a ua hiki iā ia ke hoʻokō piha. Ua kākau inoa ʻia ka lāhui e ka CFA (The Cat Fanciers 'Association) i Mei Mei, a ua loaʻa ke kūlana poʻokela i 1987. Ma hope o kēia hui nui, ua ʻike ʻia i nā mea liʻiliʻi. I kēia lā, maʻamau nā Ocicats ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa, makemake nui ʻia lākou no ko lākou ʻano kūloko, akā i ka manawa like hihiu lākou.
Hōʻike o ka lāhui
Ua like kēia mau pōpoki me ka ocelot hihiu, me ko lākou lauoho pōkole, kahi kiko a me ka helehelena ikaika a me ka huhū. He kino nui a ikaika ko lākou, nā mākeke muscular me nā kiko ʻeleʻele a me nā pale oval ikaika.
ʻO ke kino he keʻa i waena o ka lokomaikaʻi o nā pōpoki hikina a me ka mana o ka shorthair ʻAmelika.
Nui a muscular, ua hoʻopiha ʻia me ka ikaika a me ka mana, a ʻoi aku ke kaumaha ma mua o kou manaʻo. Kaupaona ʻia nā pōpoki makua mai 4.5 a 7 kg, nā pōpoki mai 3.5 a 5 kg. ʻO ke ola ke ola ma kahi o 15 mau makahiki.
Uhi ʻia nā paws ikaika me nā mākala, ka lōʻihi o ka lōʻihi, ma ke kaulike o ke kino. He oval a paʻa nā pale pale.
ʻOkoʻa ke poʻo i ke ʻano wedge, ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi o ka laulā. He ākea a wehewehe maikaʻi ʻia ka waha, ʻike ʻia kona lōʻihi i ka ʻikepili, a ʻo ka ʻāpana mana. Huli ʻia nā pepeiao i ke kihi o 45 kekelē, ʻoi aku ka nui a maʻalahi. ʻO nā kāhili a me ka hulu hipa a me nā pepeiao he mea hoʻohui.
Hoʻonohonoho ākea ʻia nā maka, ʻano ʻalemona, ʻoluʻolu nā kala o ka maka, me ka polū.
ʻO ke kapa kokoke i ke kino, pōkole akā lōʻihi ka lōʻihi e lawa ai i nā kaha kikoʻī. ʻĀlohilohi, laumania, satin, me ka ʻole o kahi fluffiness. Loaʻa iā ia ke kala agouti i kapa ʻia, e like me nā pōpoki Abyssinian.
Inā ʻoe e nānā pono i nā kiko, e ʻike ʻoe i nā apo o ke kala ʻokoʻa i kēlā me kēia lauoho. Eia kekahi, nā lauoho āpau ke kāki ʻana, koe wale no ka piko o ka huelo.
Ua ʻae ka hapa nui o nā hui i nā kala ʻokoʻa he 12 o ka lāhui. Kokoleka, ʻeleʻele, kinamona, polū, poni, ʻulaʻula a me nā mea ʻē aʻe. E akāka lākou āpau a ʻokoʻa i nā kiko ʻeleʻele ma ke kua a me nā ʻaoʻao. Aia nā wahi māmā loa ma kahi o nā maka a ma ka iwi ā lalo. ʻO ka pouli loa i ka piko o ka huelo.
Akā ʻo ka mea nui e pili ana i ka waihoʻoluʻu ka pouli, nā ʻāpana like ʻole e holo i loko o ke kino. ʻO ke kūpono, holo nā lālani o nā kiko ma ka iiwi o ka poʻohiwi i ka huelo. Hoʻohui ʻia, hoʻopuehu ʻia nā kiko ma luna o nā poʻohiwi a me nā wāwae hope, e hele ana a hiki i ka hopena o nā wāwae. ʻIke ʻia ka ʻōpū. ʻO ka leka "M" e hoʻonani i ka lae a ma laila e loaʻa nā wahi apo i nā ʻālohilohi a me ka puʻu.
I ka makahiki 1986, pāpā ʻo CFA i ke kahakaha me Siamese a me ʻAmelika Shorthairs. Eia nō naʻe, i mea e hoʻonui ai i ka loko wai a mālama i ke olakino o ka lāhui, ʻae ʻia ka crossbreeding me Abyssinian a hiki i Ianuali 1, 2015. I TICA, ʻae ʻia ka hele ʻana me nā pōpoki Abyssinian a me Siamese, me ka ʻole o nā kapu.
ʻAno
Inā ʻike ʻoe i kekahi e manaʻo nei he pupule a aloha ʻole nā pōpoki, hoʻolauna wale iā ia i ka Ocicat. ʻO kēia nā pōpoki aloha i ko lākou ʻohana akā makemake pū kekahi e hui me nā poʻe hou. Hālāwai lākou me nā malihini me ka manaʻolana e hānai ʻia a pāʻani ʻia paha.
Puni lākou a pilikanaka hoʻi i ke ola i loko o ka hale kahi ʻaʻohe mea e like ka lā āpau me ka hana nui na lākou. Inā hiki ʻole iā ʻoe ke hoʻolilo i ka hapa nui o kou manawa ma ka home a i ʻole ke nalo nei i ka hana, a laila e aho e kiʻi i ka pōpoki a ʻīlio ʻelua paha e ʻoluʻolu nona. I kēlā hui, ʻaʻole lākou e luhi a maʻi.
ʻO ka ʻohana maikaʻi loa no lākou kahi e hana a paʻa ai ka poʻe āpau, ʻoiai lākou e hoʻomaʻa maikaʻi i nā loli, hoʻomanawanui i ka huakaʻi maikaʻi a e lilo i mau hoa maikaʻi no ka poʻe e hoʻololi pinepine i ko lākou wahi noho.
ʻIke koke lākou i ko lākou inoa (akā ʻaʻole paha e pane iā ia). Akamai loa ʻo Ocicats a no ka mālama ʻana iā lākou i ke ala ʻoi loa e hoʻomaka i ke aʻo ʻana a i ʻole ke aʻo ʻana i nā hana hou.
ʻAʻole ia he mea hōʻeha i nā mea nona ka manaʻo e ʻike he taleni kā lākou no nā hana maʻalea āu e aʻo ai iā lākou, akā no nā mea e aʻo ai lākou iā lākou iho.
ʻO kahi laʻana, pehea e wehe ai i kahi lumi me nā meaʻai a i ʻole piʻi i ka papa mamao loa. Acrobats, hoihoi a akamai (i kekahi manawa akamai loa), ʻike mau lākou i ke ala i kā lākou makemake.
Ma ka laulaha, ʻike nā mea nona ka like ʻana o kēia mau pōpoki me ka ʻīlio, like lākou me ke akamai, kūpaʻa a pāʻani hoʻi. Inā ʻoe e hōʻike iā lākou i kāu makemake a makemake ʻole paha, no ka laʻana, i piʻi ʻole ka pōpoki ma ka papa ʻaina, a laila e ʻike koke ʻo ia, ʻoiai inā hāʻawi ʻoe iā ia i kahi ʻē aʻe. ʻO ka noho kīhini hoʻokahi kahi e hiki ai iā ia ke kiaʻi i nā meaʻai e hoʻomākaukau ʻia ana.
Akamai a dexterous, hiki i nā Ocicats ke hōʻea i nā wahi āpau o kou home, a hiki ke ʻike pinepine ʻia e kiaʻi ana iā ʻoe mai kahi kīʻaha luna. ʻĀ, mea pāʻani ...
Hiki iā lākou ke hoʻolilo i kekahi mea i mea pāʻani, no laila mai hoʻolei i nā mea waiwai i nā wahi i hiki ke kiʻi ʻia. Hauʻoli ka hapa nui o lākou e lawe mai i kahi kinipōpō, a e hāʻule kekahi i kā lākou mea pāʻani punahele ma kou alo ma 3 am.
ʻO ka manawa kēia e pāʻani ai!
E like me ko lākou poʻe kūpuna, he leo nui ko lākou, kahi a lākou e kānalua ai e hoʻohana inā makemake lākou e ʻai a pāʻani paha. Akā, ʻokoʻa nā pōpoki Siamese, ʻaʻole ʻo ia e kolohe a kuli hoʻi.
Mālama
ʻAʻole pono ka mālama kūikawā. ʻOiai he pōkole loa ke kapa, ʻaʻole pono pinepine e kāhili iā ia, a he manawa liʻiliʻi kēia. Pono ʻoe e ʻauʻau a ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi. ʻAʻole ʻokoʻa ka mālama ʻana i nā pepeiao a me nā māiʻuʻu mai ka mālama ʻana i nā ʻano pōpoki ʻē aʻe, ua lawa ia e nānā pinepine a hoʻomaʻemaʻe a ʻokiʻoki paha iā lākou.
ʻO ka maʻamau, he mau pōpoki kūloko kēia, ʻaʻole i manaʻo ʻia no ke ola i ka pā a ma ke alanui paha, ʻoiai hiki iā lākou ke hele wāwae i loko o nā palena o kahi hale pilikino, no ka mea ʻaʻole lākou e hele mamao aku mai ia wahi. ʻO ka mea nui ʻaʻole e luhi ka pōpoki a manaʻo i ke koi, ʻo ia kahi e waiho ai ke kumu o ka mālama.
Ola
E ʻoluʻolu, ʻo nā maʻi i helu ʻia ma lalo nei he mea hoʻomanaʻo wale nō ia i nā mea e hiki ai iā lākou ke maʻi. E like me ka poʻe, ʻaʻole ia he kumu no ka manawa kūpono.
ʻO ke olakino olakino ke olakino maikaʻi a hiki ke ola mai 15 a 18 mau makahiki me ka mālama pono. Eia nō naʻe, ke hoʻomanaʻo nei ʻoe, ua hana ʻia lākou me ke komo pū ʻana o ʻekolu mau ʻano ʻē aʻe, a he paʻakikī ko lākou āpau me nā genetics.
Kūleʻa nā pilikia genetic i loko o nā makahiki a hala ʻia i kēlā hanauna i kēia hanauna. ʻO kahi laʻana, mai nā pōpoki Abyssinian ua loaʻa lākou i ka amyloidosis renal a i ʻole amyloid dystrophy - kahi hana hewa i ka metabolism protein, e hiki ai i ka hōʻino ʻole o ka hakuʻala.
ʻO ka hemahema ʻo Pyruvate kinase (PKdef) kahi maʻi hoʻoilina - hemolytic anemia, ke kumu o ka paʻa ʻole o ke koko ʻulaʻula, i kekahi mau laina.
Pono e haʻi i ke atrophy retinal holomua i nā pōpoki, ʻo ka maʻi ke kumu o ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa o nā photoreceptors i ka maka. Ma Ocicats, hiki ke ʻike ʻia kēia maʻi i ka makahiki 7, me ke kōkua o ka nānā ʻana i nā maka, hiki i nā pōpoki maʻi ke lilo i makapō a 3-5 mau makahiki.
Hoʻokumu ʻia ke atrophy retinal e kahi genes autosomal recessive, ʻelua kope e pono ai e kiʻi no ka maʻi e ulu. Ke hāpai nei i hoʻokahi kope o ka ʻāpana, hāʻawi wale nā pōpoki iā ia i ka hanauna hou.
ʻAʻohe lāʻau lapaʻau no kēia maʻi, akā ua hoʻomohala ʻia nā hoʻokolohua kūlohelohe i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa e ʻike ai.
ʻO ka hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, ka mea maʻa mau i nā pōpoki Siamese, kahi maʻi maʻi pū kekahi.
ʻO ia ka maʻi puʻuwai feline ʻoi loa, ka hopena pinepine i ka make make ma waena o nā makahiki o 2 a me 5, e hilinaʻi ana inā i loaʻa i hoʻokahi a ʻelua paha kope o ka ʻāpana. ʻO nā pōpoki me ʻelua kope e make ma mua.
