Legend cat and Pixie-Bob
Originally claimed to derive from hybrids between domestic cats and bobcats, blood testing demonstrates the Pixie-Bob to be an entirely domestic breed that bears a resemblance to bobcats. They were developed from “Legend cats” that are anecdotally believed to be natural hybrids of free-roaming domestic cats with bobcats. For a cat to be considered a Certified TICA Pixie-Bob, they cannot be bred with bobcats, and one of their parents must be traced back to breed originator, Carol Ann Brewer’s first Pixie-Bob named Pixie.

Legend Cats are domestic cats that resemble bobcats (muttonchops, ear tufts, short tail, bobcat-like markings and facial expression) and according to local legend are part-bobcat. A resemblance to a bobcat is not sufficient evidence for an actual biological connection to the bobcat. Although bobcats have been crossed with domestic cats in captivity, there is no firm evidence of naturally occurring hybrids between the two species. In general, the two must be raised together if the bobcat is to consider the smaller domestic cat a potential mate rather than a potential meal.

Happy Fat Kitty Cat
