Pixie-bob
The origins of the Pixie-bob are set out in a legend, which recounts that male bobcats mated with domestic cats living on nearby farms, and that these pairings brought about the breed we know today. Despite their clear similarity to the bobcat, genetic analyses have detected no markers to link these two types of feline. These cats are wonderfully charming and their physique is extraordinary. Their weighty build, the locks of hair on the tips of their ears, their short tail (which measures 2 inches on average) and their occasional extra fingers make the Pixie-bob a unique and distinguished feline.
