Meet the Pixie Bob While anecdotal stories suggest that American bobcats were mated with domestic cats to produce this breed, DNA evidence does not support these accounts. The breed founder did mate her cat only to other cats with supposed hybrid wild/domestic parents. However, she referred to these foundation cats as "legend" cats, since the mating that produced them was never seen. Currently, the Pixie Bob is believed to be a naturally occurring domestic cat of the Pacific Northwest, as the Maine Coon is of the Northeast. Pixie Bobs weigh from 12 to 22 pounds and have short tails from 1 to 6 inches. About half of all Pixie Bobs are polydactyl, the only breed for whom polydactylly is not a fault in the show ring. They have muscular, heavy-boned bodies and a wooly double coat, which is short or semi-long. Coat patterns include random spotting, broken bars, and rosettes. The color ranges from light brown spotted tabby to golden, rusty red or brown. Once they form a close bond with "their" family during their first year or two of life, a change of ownership is not feasible. They can get along with children.
