Pixie-bob
Bred to look like a bobcat, with a short tail and often extra toes: the standard allows up to seven per foot. Entirely domestic, whatever the story says.
Overview
The Pixie-bob is a large American breed with a short tail, a heavy muscular build and frequent polydactyly, with up to seven toes on a foot permitted by the standard. It is one of very few breeds where extra toes are written into the standard rather than treated as a fault.
The breed's founding story involves bobcat ancestry, and DNA testing has not supported that. It is a domestic cat, which is why it carries none of the legal complications a genuine hybrid does.
Temperament
Calm, loyal and strikingly dog like. Pixie-bobs bond hard to their families, follow people around, walk on a lead and often carry things.
They are quiet, communicating in chirps and chitters rather than meows, and they are patient with children and other animals. They are confident rather than boisterous.
Care and grooming
A weekly brush for the shorthair and twice weekly for the semi longhair, more through the moult.
The extra toes need attention: polydactyl feet grow claws that can miss the scratching post and grow into the pad, so nails want checking and trimming regularly. Beyond that there is no widely documented breed specific disorder.
Living and exercise
Space and sturdy climbing structure, because these are large heavy cats. They take to harness walking better than most.
They are slow to mature and thoroughly people oriented, so they do best in a household with someone about. Thirteen to fifteen years is usual.
