ORIGINATION OF THE PIXIE-BOB

---

On the North American Continent, in every geographical area where the bobcat may be found, kittens are born every spring resulting from wild/domestic mating. The first generation of such a breeding often goes unrecognized as the kittens are usually wild in temperament , but oddly, more domestic in appearance. Because there are 11 different races of Bobcat in the U.S. Canada and Mexico, the kittens will vary greatly depending also upon the breed of female. Many breeders have discovered pockets of these cats across the country. which individually, began programs up to 20 years ago, using the first generation as foundation stock.

It was 1985. in Washington State, in the shadows of the Cascade Mountains, near the shores of Puget Sound, when a small coastal red Bobcat was seen breeding a polydactyl Manx. The owners ran to save their cat from possible harm and later reaped a harvest of kittens. Carol Ann Brewer. who was immediately intrigued by the kittens appearance and behavior, p' trchased a male polydactyl kitten. She knew that she possessed a kitten with the of another world. She then began a search for information to help her understand the needs of such an unusual cat. She discovered that there was indeed scientific document ation recording the breeding of a Bobcat with a domestic, thus producing feral kittens. So it was that the breed essentially began through natural hybridization domestic, thus producing the feral kittens. So it was that the breed essentially began through natural hybridization. 'It was like the program was Providentially handed to me on a silver platter ", Carol says, because within the year, she had acquired one more cat of the same heritage, again produced from a witnessed breeding and a large cat of speculative heritage, but whose sheer size and appearance convinced her to use him also, to form the basis of a program!

Pixie was a female kitten born from the union of two of these original cats. She was heavily spotted a fawn coat, and had a fiery wild face, reminiscent of a bobcat. Pixie became the dam line ftr nearly every female cat in her program.

It became her relentless goal to attempt to reverse the characteristics of the cats: to make them more wild in appearance yet domestic in personality through selective breeding. Today the cats are perfect house pets, being non-destructive and virtually as easy to care for as "dogs in disguise" as they are easily trained and are remarkably courageous. Loving and devoted they prefer to be with their owners at all times, even traveling in the car, on a shoulder or the dashboard. Kittens produced today have a muscular rangy body, thick legs and sport a short tail that may be wagged or curled up and down for effect. But their most distinguishable feature is their face, which evokes the feeling that you are looking into the face of a true tomcat.

It is the goal of Carol Anne Brewer and her co-breeders to see these cats, who have existed on their won for centuries in North America, appreciated for their wild beauty al?d the extreme pleasure they offer mankind.

Absolutely guaranteed to change your life, they are intelligent beyond belief and forever entertaining. Another cat could never fill their place: because once owned, nothing will ever do.

The Pixie-Bob lines are uniquely called by their nickname, "The Outlaws of the Pacific Northwest".

The Bobcat, one of North America's smallest native cats got its descriptive name from its unusually short and articulating tail. Looking a bit like an extra large house cat, bobcats weigh an average of 20-25 pounds, stand 15 inches tall and average 25 inches long. Supporting these strong bodies are long, thick legs with furry feet. Depending on the climate and terrain they vary in color and coat type. Some being grey or brown tones while others are red or reflus, all having a cream undercarriage running from their chin to the tip of the tail which is always black on top. They have tips on their ears though smaller than those of the Lynx. Spots and stripes add to the majestic appearance of the strong and unintimidated animal. Bobcats are found on the outskirts of villages and farms. Being shy and cautious they take cover in shacks and barns so they are very rarely seen.

THESE BEAUTIFUL CATS ARE TRULY A PICTURE OF MAGNIFICENCE.
