Declawing a Ocicat is a major surgery called a onychectomy, performed with anesthesia, which eliminates the claw of each finger (from the first knuckle out) of the Ocicat’s forepaw. There’s a miniscule chance of a fatality during the surgery, and a declawed Ocicat may have a slight risk of infection and life-long displeasure in his paws. This surgery is not advised for an adult Ocicat and is termed an act of animal cruelty in some countries (as shown below).

Ocicats are predators. Always remember that when pondering what foods to feed your Ocicat. If you deviate from this, your Ocicat may reject your food offerings. If you’re giving your her food that is not meat or formulated from meat products, you can have a hard time getting the Ocicat to eat.
Keep in mind Ocicats share recent ancestry with the fiercest of felines — lions, tigers,and pumas, etc. — so take that to heart as you’re feeding the Ocicat. You won’t see an adult leopard on National Geographic chewing grass, drinking milk, or eating an apple in nature.
