About

What is a Pixiebob?

Medium to large, muscular cat with bobbed tail and wild appearance. Resembles North American bobcat.

Pixiebob history and origins

Developed in the 1980s from naturally occurring domestic cats resembling bobcats. Despite legends, DNA testing confirms fully domestic origins. Known for dog-like personalities. Polydactyl toes common.

Pixiebob appearance and size

Typically 5-7.7 kg and 36-43 cm at the shoulder — published as one range rather than separately for males and females.

Pixiebob temperament and personality

Generally described as affectionate, social, intelligent, loyal, devoted and active.

That is the breed in general, not a promise about one animal. Ask the breeder what their own line is like, and meet the parents before you decide.

  • Descrito habitualmente como: «Affectionate, Social, Intelligent, Loyal»

Lo que asumes

Nadie ha escrito todavía este lado. Es un juicio y no datos, así que espera a una persona — no a una fuente que falte.

Extraído de fuentes y no escrito como opinión — investigación de salud citada, el estándar del propio registro, y estudios de longevidad revisados por pares. The Cat API. Los animales de un criador pueden diferir de todo esto, y una columna vacía significa que no tenemos nada de ese lado, no que no haya nada que decir.

Characteristics

TICA divisions

TICA lists the Pixiebob in these divisions. They are the registry's own groupings — usually hair length — not a list of colours: no registry we hold publishes one. Ask a breeder what colours their line produces.

Health guide

Health & screening guide for the Pixiebob

No hay nada hereditario documentado en la raza Pixiebob, pero aun así hay documentación concreta que pedir a cualquier criador antes de pagar una señal. Un criador responsable tiene esta documentación a mano; esquivar la pregunta es mala señal.

No well-documented, breed-specific hereditary condition was found for the Pixiebob in DNA-testing-laboratory breed records or peer-reviewed veterinary literature. UC Davis VGL's Pixie-bob breed page lists only general coat-colour and parentage tests across its full catalogue — no breed-specific disease test at all. An absent finding here reflects what the literature does and does not cover, not a guarantee of a clean bill of health.

Qué pedir de todos modos

  • Cardiologist echocardiogram on both parents (general HCM screening, recommended across most pedigree breeds)
  • PKD1 DNA test or renal ultrasound (general precaution)
  • FeLV/FIV status of the breeding cats

No Pixiebob breeder has a record on this platform yet, so there is nothing to list. That is a gap in our coverage, not a fact about the breed.
