Pixie Bobs are medium to large sized cats resembling the bobcat. They are muscular with heavy bones and broad chest. The shoulder blades are prominent and produce a rolling gait similar to wild cats. Eyes are round with heavily hooded bushy eyebrows having brown or gold colour. Ears are medium-sized, wide and deep at base with rounded tips. Legs are long with large, long and wide feet.
Pixie Bobs have short to medium size coat. The coat is greatly ticked and need constant cleaning. The colour of coat is normally brown with spotted tabby. |
The origin of Pixie Bobs is yet a mystery. Some believe that they are a cross breed between domestic cat and bobcats, but DNA test showed that the breed is not wild nor an exotic hybrid. Carol Ann Brewer of Washington found the first Pixie Bob in the 1980s. They are extremely loyal and sometimes referred to as the ‘dogs in disguise’.
