Pixie-Bob Cat
The Pixie-Bob is a relatively new breed. The cat is muscular and heavy-boned; males range from 12-15pounds (5-6 kg) as adults, though females are smaller. The coat can be short and semi-long, with patterns of spots, broken bards, and rosettes. An interesting fact about Pixie-Bobs is that a straight foot Pixie-Bob has the normal number of toes - 5 in the front, and 4 in the back. But there is also a poly, or polydactyl, Pixie-Bob, which has seven toes on the front feet. Polydacty is a disqualifying fault in any other breed, except Pixie-Bobs. The cat is characterized as intelligent and loyal. It is accepted by TICA. Read about the origin of the bobtails.
