According to legend, it is a hybrid offspring of a domestic cat and a bobcat, but DNA testing has failed to prove that these cats are indeed related to the Bobcat. The Pixie-bob has a large body with big feet, a very short, bobbed tail and a gentle personality. Its markings resemble those of a bobcat or lynx, with spots, stripes and swirls. This breed is currently the only one accepted by any major club to allow polydactyls, cats having more than the usual number on toes on each foot (five for the front paws, four for the back). Adult males weigh from 16 to 22 lb (7 to 10 kg, with females being smaller, 8–12 lb (3.5–5.5 kg). External Link Pixie-bob info
