🐈 CatsPixie-bob
Felis catus
✨ Fun Fact
Pixie-bobs are often polydactyl (extra toes), which adds to their 'wild bobcat' appearance — and their chirping, trilling vocalizations sound nothing like a typical meow.
A breed developed to resemble a bobcat — spotted or ticked coat, short bobbed tail, tufted ears, and heavy brow. Large, muscular, with polydactyl paws common. Despite wild looks, DNA testing confirms they're fully domestic. Highly intelligent and dog-like.
