The Pixie-bob cat's origin is rooted in legend, with claims of natural mating between American bobcats and domestic cats. This breed is large, sturdy, and resembles bobcats. They are intelligent, active, and playful, requiring stimulation and exercise. Pixie-bobs are curious and adaptable but can be prone to health issues like patellar luxation. They are legally considered domestic cats and make suitable companions for various households, including those with children or pets, due to their playful, loyal, and beautiful nature.
