DO THEY REALLY LOOK LIKE BOBCATS?

The standard calls for the Pixie Bob to MIMIC the look of the bobcat. At this point in our program we feel we have many similarities such as a coarse thick coat with nice spots, tips on the ears and tufts along the jaw line. Our Pixie Bobs are large in size with some males having reached 20 lbs. However, we continue to breed towards the look of the Pixie Bob's ancestry.



ARE THEY WILD IN PERSONALITY?

Even though our cats contains bobcat heritage, we only sell multiple generations from the foundation blood. This means our cats include the intelligence and physical power of their feral ancestors but also the loving gentle nature of the Pixie Bobs chosen to be used in the breeding program. The result is a highly intelligent cat that is trained, loyal with a wide range of skills and talents.



HOW WELL WILL THESE CATS GET ALONG WITH OTHER PETS AND CHILDREN?

Our cats are raised in our homes with our families. They bond quickly. It is not unusual when you first get your kitten for it to bound from the kennel and its first question be, "Where's the food?" It will lovingly approach each member of the family and steal your hearts. They also get along with other family pets and children.

CAN I AFFORD A PIXIE BOB?

Our kittens are priced affordably. We work with each customer personally regarding what they want to pay for a kitten, convenient ways of payment, and will accept payments in order for customers to afford one of these unique kittens and be able to enjoy it as a pet. Raising these wonderful cats are a hobby for us and any money gained goes back into the feed and care of our cats. Therefore, we are not interested in making large profits but more interested in our kittens having good homes where people can afford to care for them but also feel comfortable with what they pay for their pet. For more information on our payment plans, go to my Contact Me page.




WILL MY KITTEN NEED A SPECIAL DIET OR A PLACE TO KEEP IT?

We feed our kittens a high protein diet such as Science Diet or Iams. To supplement a dry diet we supply them with a daily meat diet. This can be prepared canned food containing chicken or turkey of your choice. If you choose to feed real meat, please cook it so it will be safe. When you get your new kitten it is good to keep it in a quiet place until it has adjusted to the family. The kennel that comes with the kitten can be used when set in the middle of a bedroom and left open to give the kitten a place that is familiar.




WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PIXIE BOB AND THE AMERICAN BOBTAIL?

The Pixie Bob should be variations of brown, rufus, and gray or black. The polydactal toe gene can be used in the breed but is not allowed in the American Bobtail. The American Bobtail covers many other colors such as the lynx point, blue, gray silver etc.
