Pixiebob

Pixiebob is a common alternate styling of Pixie-Bob, the domestic bobtailed breed created to evoke the look of a North American bobcat. The breed is usually brown spotted tabby, broad-bodied, and heavy-boned, with a naturally short tail and a watchful expression. Longhaired and shorthaired coats can occur, and polydactyl feet are accepted in some breed standards. The spelling may vary in listings, but the core identity is the same domestic breed rather than a confirmed bobcat cross.

For practical purposes, a Pixiebob listing should be checked for registration, tail description, and breeder history. A random bobtailed tabby is not automatically part of the breed, even if it has a rugged appearance. Owners should watch weight, provide climbing and scratching outlets, and keep extra toes trimmed if the cat is polydactyl. Breeding records are useful because they separate breed type from folklore. The most reliable Pixiebobs combine the sturdy visual style with stable companion temperament and normal domestic-cat manageability.
