Addictional informatio
n (Wiki):
The Pixie-Bob is a breed of cat claimed
by breed founder Carol Ann Brewers to be
a progeny of naturally occurring Bobcat
hybrids. Later DNA testing failed to
detect Bobcat marker genes and these
cats are considered wholly domestic for
the purposes of ownership, cat fancy
registration, import and export.
Pixie-bobs are highly intelligent,
social, active (but not hyper-active),
bold, and enjoy playing with other
animals.
They are also known for their "chirps",
chatters, and growls; most don't meow
often, and some don't meow at all.
Chirping is essentially their "language",
and some of their chirping actually
sounds like purring.
Some Pixie-Bobs can be highly sociable
around both their owners and strangers,
while others are shy around strangers.
Almost all Pixie-Bobs like to be in the
same room as their owners, and will
follow their owners around the house.
Pixie-Bobs are a fully domestic breed of
cat bred to resemble the North American
Bobcat. For a cat to be considered a
Certified TICA Pixie-Bob cat, one of
their parents must be traced back to
StoneIsland Pixie, the original
inspiration for the breed. |
