The
pixiebob is an extraordinary feline. Bigger than a common
house cat, the pixiebob 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 pixiebob is pinkish-red, and it has a base color
of gray or yellowish- or brownish-red on its face, sides,
and back. pixiebobs 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 pixiebob 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 pixiebobs 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...

He is said to be very handsome... Built like a tank..
the Pixiebob is a domestic breed... My kids'
best friend.

Although
my cats may look wild, no captive bobcats are used in my breding
program. The kittens background holds the most bobcat
looking pixiebobs since the beggining of the breed. My fondation
queen comes from StoneIsland's cattery, WA. Then, with the
help of my mentor Carol Ann Brewer, the pixiebob breed founder,
I got a male for that massive pixiebob girl with such a beautiful
face. He was majestic... with a magical legend... This was
the beggining, many years ago.
Today,
like everyday I am working on the improvement of the look,
the temperament and the strong health of my pixiebobs, choosing
carefully my breeders, and working closely with veterinaries.
If
you're looking for a pixiebob kitten as your forever friend,
a queen or a stud for your own program, I'll be happy to help
you.
