Collection: Personalised Pixie-Bob Gifts

While these cats look like wild bobcat variants, DNA testing has shown that these cats are entirely domestic with no wild DNA in them. These large cats can be laid back family cats that are good with children and other animals.

In the 1985 Carol Anne Brewer bought a unique kitten with polydactyl paws and a spotted coat. Based in the USA Carol then rescued a second kitten whom she saved from starving. She began breeding her cats together with other cats that resembled the American Bobtail cat and domestic cats. The cats used for breeding were often take from barns and farms to keep their wild appearance. The first cat of the Pixie-Bob breed was named Pixie whom Carol kept, and the name has stuck with the breed ever since. The breed was initially registered in 1993 as an exhibition cat with further registrations coming later. In spite of their appearance they are entirely domestic and don't have a drop of wild DNA in them.

These cats have been described as dog-like and their intelligence allows them to learn a variety of tricks like fetch and walking on a leash. They enjoy hanging out with their families and bond well with all of them rather than any singular human. Pixie bobs are very affectionate and loyal to their families and they can get on with cat friendly dogs. They enjoy children and are patient enough to get on with them, however children need to be taught how to interact with cats to reduce the likelihood of accidental injuries to either party. Although they are chilled out cats they need plenty of mental and physical activities to keep them calm and reduce the risk of them developing boredom based behaviours.
