Welcome graphic

Hi there,

    Welcome to ColoradoPixies Cattery. The home of TICA 2008/2009 South Central Region's # 1 Best Pixiebob Kitten COLORADOPIXIES GJONSON. I hope you enjoy the world of miniature Bobcat look alikes.

Pixiebob cats make a variety of sounds when communticating and dealing with life's surprises and are very smart. They can be taught to do tricks easily. They love to cuddle and purr and follow you around like a dog. They sometimes play in water as well. Some have even been known to be trained to walk on a leash. They have been referred to over the years as "the cats that think they're a dog...". When raised properly underfoot with lots of love and attention (like all of ours are) they become very affectionate towards people. Did I mention how much they love our laps? Well, if you're watching TV the kitty's are on your lap. They love people.

Pixiebobs are a breed of domestic cat. They are bred to look like miniature Bobcats, but they are not descendants of any Bobcat. They should have ear tips, and males can have tufts starting to grow around the lower jaw when about 10 to 12 months old or so. They also should have shorter tails and some have extra toes. It's the only breed of cat that's allowed to be shown in cat shows with polydactyl feet (with extra toes). All other breeds have to be straight footed in competition.  We have some of the most beautiful look alikes. Pixiebobs don't shed much hair when compared to other breeds of cats. They have slightly oily skin for warmth and waterproofing. We have found that the Pixiebobs don't bother people with allergies. Like Bobcats, Pixiebobs come in different shades of colors and they vary between short and long hair. Long hair on a Pixiebob is never long like a Persian has, not 3 inches. It's more like one to 1 1/2 inches. It's more like a medium length in reality, similar to a Manx cat.

Let's set the record straight now... Pixiebobs have no wild Bobcat DNA in them. They never have, thus they never will. Some folks will give you long, long, long stories about the breed and how they started with some unknown Bobcat in the beginning. It's not true. There has never been a documented case of Bobcat DNA ever to be found in a Pixiebob. That's a fact! According to some other breeders no one really knows for sure how the breed started. I personally believe that the breed was originated in Washington State, by the TICA recognized founder of the breed Carol Brewer who managed to achieve the look we have come to know and love as the Pixiebob. Some of our cats have her original blood lines in them. It may have been started with a cross between a Bengal and a Mainecoon, Tabby and/or possibly some other kind of breed, but it was definitely not a Bobcat. This has always been a controversy as some breeders in Great Britain, Northeast USA and Southeast USA claim that the breed originated in their neck of the woods as well.
