The Pixie Bob Cat Breeds
People have always been in awe of big cats such as lions and tigers, but big cats like these are better off admired from a distance. However, if you want a breed of domestic cat that resembles one of its wild cousins, you have plenty of cat breeds to choose from. If you like a cat that’s sleek and smooth like a panther, you could take a look at the Bengals or Abyssinians. If you prefer a stockier cat, then the Pixie Bob might be for you.
Pixie Bobs are known as the Golden Retrievers of the cat world. Some owners would go so far as to say that their Pixie Bobs are little dogs in disguise. This cat breed is highly intelligent and easily trained. They love company and will bond closely to you and your family. After one or two years of age, your Pixie Bob won’t want to be with anyone else but you. If any pet believes in “’til death do us part”, it’s a Pixie Bob. People might assume that the origin of the breed came from the mating of a feral cat and a Bobcat, but DNA tests have shown that there is no wild blood in the Pixie Bob’s heritage.
The Pixie Bob is a medium to large cat that some have described as “big boned”. They have spotted markings and black tufts on their ears. Their tails are either short or full length. If you’re planning on showing your Pixie Bob, make sure that the breeder hasn’t had the tail docked (cut). A docked tail is not acceptable in the show ring. Pixie Bobs also have huge paws that are “straight toed” or “poly toed”. A Pixie Bob with straight toes has paws with the usual number of toes on it (five in the front and four in the back). A poly-toed Pixie Bob will have more than the usual number of toes, maybe six on the front paws instead of five. Unlike most cats, Pixie Bobs take three years to reach maturity as opposed to the usual one year. The males can reach 22 pounds and the females top out at 16 pounds.
