Been on Wiki almost half a day today studying about Cats!

And I'm in love with Pixie-Bob now!

Love, love, love

But only a cat connoisseur will be able to appreciate this breed!

I would!


KP

oh pixie-bob,its a new breed aight

Can consider new also lah, but it's like everywhere in the US now!

It was registered as a breed in 1993, and approved as an official breed in 1994.

Try looking up on it el, I dunno if you won't fall in love with it too!

It's on top of my wish list now and I'm looking forward to get one even if I have to have it imported! Muahaha...


KP

*Too excited now...*

Pixie bob? Thats the one like the one i saw in NZ merayau2. I think la

NZ? New Zealand?

If it's wild and merayau-rayau it could be a Bobcat.

Pixie-Bob normally are indoor cats and rarely will the owner let them out without a leash.

Some of our common cats pun look like Pixie-Bob, but the major difference is that Pixie-Bobs are highly intelligent!

Bobcat is a breed too. But a wild cat breed. Cannot keep as pets.

Yearp, mostly Pixie-Bobs only comes in that color but has many patterns too. They will always look like wild cats, but are totally domesticated!

Ohh, they have short hair Pixie-Bobs and also medium hair Pixie-Bobs!

I really-really want one!

Arghhh!


KP

Then, lets go to USA and get one.

But can they tahan our climate

Ah, i go feed my cats first, toodles~

Haha, no need go there, I'm checking with some breeders that can ship WORLDWIDE! Woot, woot!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they can adapt to out climate because they are tougher than any other cats, bigger and they're not long hair ma...

Some are even staying in the hot sunny Texas! Yeehaa!


KP

Yup, only TICA certified it, not CFA.

CFA don't wanna acknowledge mixbreed with wild ones I think... They did gave some sort of reason lah

Whaddaya think of it?


KP

i think because pixie bob come close to the wild North American bobcat which a mating of a wild cat and a farm cat.like munchkin is not certified by CFA.

Added on February 21, 2008, 8:16 pmlike in wiki it mention:

"Pixie-Bobs are directly related to bobcats. Directly related would indicate identical Y-Chromosomes or limited marker match testing. Therefore, Pixie-Bob are legally designated as domestic cats, even if they might have bobcat heritage."

directly related to Bobcats. it sound like mix breed of bobcats and another cat. not really sure my CFA do not certified it. maybe it is legally designated as domestic cats.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMPixie bob...i like

Oh thanks for that elly. Its like dog's MKA?

Yeap, I know Pixie-Bob has medium long hair also, stated it before in the above

Wait, where did it say Pixie-Bobs are directly related to Bobcats?

Quoted form Wiki : "According to legend, it is a hybrid offspring of a domestic cat and a bobcat, but DNA testing has failed to show that Pixie-Bobs are directly related to bobcats. Directly related would indicate identical Y-Chromosomes or limited marker match testing. Therefore, Pixie-Bob are legally designated as domestic cats, even if they might have bobcat heritage."

In another quote form Wiki too : "In 1996, DNA testing was by Stormant Labs, in California. Stormant labs determined that the Pixie-Bobs proved that the Pixie-Bobs are unique breed and not related to other breeds."

Wait ahh, I read yesterday about why CFA didn't wanna acknowledge Pixie-Bob... Lemme search for it back



Something like that

If you have a cat that is acknowledged by TICA or CFA baru in can fall into the breed category they list... But will need a cert to prove it too

Added on February 22, 2008, 10:12 amSomething on the CFA thingy...

"...there is no attempt being made at this time to bring the Pixie-Bob before CFA (Cat Fanciers Association) as this is an extremely conservative organization, and one that does not easily recognize new breeds. Even the Bengal Cat has not been formally recognized by this association. It appears that they prefer to remain with only the older breeds."

Still looking for more

Tell your hubby Oren is not Doraemon, even though they look alike.

ARRRRRRR! My Dad want to put my cat's cage containing Comot and her kittens in the middle of the field. Then only put some roof on top. And cover around it. I was like "no way, my rabbit died by your idea and i don't want it to happen on my cats". Damn! =(
