Large domestic cat resembling a Bobcat. Short tail and wild look, yet gentle with dog-like loyalty.
Pixie-bob is a pedigreed breed of domestic cat. Originally they were claimed to be related to bobcat hybrids, but DNA testing showed they are genetically fully domestic cats. However, they were selectively bred in the U.S. intended to resemble the North American bobcat. They are relatively large-sized polydactyl cats with a short tail, and have a black spotted tabby coat.
