FAQs

Do Pixiebob cats make good pets?

Yes, Pixiebob cats are excellent pets due to their affectionate, friendly, and social nature. They form strong bonds with their families, including children, and communicate through soft chirps and trills rather than loud meows. They enjoy interactive play and can adapt to activities such as leash walking or learning to fetch. Their gentle and tolerant temperament also helps them to get along well with other pets, making them an ideal companion for families or individuals seeking an engaging yet easygoing cat.

How can I tell if my cat is a Pixiebob?

You can identify a Pixiebob cat by its sturdy, muscular build, bobbed tail, and sometimes extra toes (polydactyl). Their coat usually features a spotted or patched tabby pattern resembling a bobcat, but they have no wild bobcat DNA. Behaviourally, Pixiebobs are extremely social, intelligent, and vocalise with chirps, chatters, and trills instead of meows. They often follow their owners around and can learn tricks or leash-walking. For a definitive identification, consulting a breeder or conducting a DNA test is recommended.

Are Pixiebob cats legal?

Yes, Pixiebob cats are fully legal to own everywhere. Despite their bobcat-like appearance, they are purely domestic cats with no actual bobcat ancestry based on DNA testing. As such, they are treated like any other domestic cat, with no special legal restrictions on registration or ownership.

What breeds make a Pixiebob cat?

Pixiebobs are a selectively bred domestic cat breed developed to mimic the look of miniature bobcats but without any wild genes. They originated from naturally occurring domestic cats with bobcat-like markings and a bobbed tail. The breed likely involves a mix of tabby and domestic cats, selectively bred for their distinct appearance and temperament, with no hybridisation with real bobcats.
