He
is said to be very handsome... the Pixiebob is
a domestic breed... My kids' best friend.
The
pixie-bob is an extraordinary feline. Bigger than
a common house cat, the pixie-bob weighs between
seven to twenty pounds. Males are generally larger.
The coat is usually tan colored with a number
of dark spots on it assisting the cat in its camouflage.
The fur is brittle but quite long and dense. The
nose of the pixie-bob is pinkish-red, and it has
a base color of gray or yellowish- or brownish-red
on its face, sides, and back. Pixie-bobs eyes
are yellow or green with black pupils. The characteristic
feature is its small tail that gives it the 'bobbed'
appearance - responsible for the breeds' name.
The pixie-bob is muscular and its strong, proportionately
long, hind legs giving it a bobbing gait, enable
it to generate tremendous bounds of speed. With
their keen senses, extreme agility and surprising
strength, the pixie-bobs make great hunters..
The Pixiebob is the only breed that allows polydactyly—cats
with more than the usual five toes on the front
paws and four on the back. The Pixiebob is allowed
up to seven toes per paw...
I
believe that we, breeders, have the challenge
to preserve and develop that ethereal wildness,
an unforgettable way in which Pixie Bob cats glance,
move, look and carry themselves... My pixie-bobs
are MASSIVE spotted CATS with BIG BONES, a super
intelligence, an unforgettable wild look and a
dog like personality! They have the wild appearance
of the bobcat, but they also possess loyalty and
courage.
Although my cats may look wild, no captive bobcats
are used in my breding program. The kittens background
holds the most bobcat looking pixie-bobs since
the beggining of the breed. We are continuing
to improve the look, the temperament and the strong
health of the pixie-bob, choosing carefully our
breeders, and working closely with veterinaries.
If
you're looking for a pixie-bob kitten as your
forever friend, a queen or a stud for your own
program, I'll be happy to help you.
