Black Creek Bobis is located
in southeastern Oklahoma. We began our cattery with a select few males and
females from good lines that include original lines as well as "Legend Cat"
lines. We breed for quality vs. quantity. All our kittens are produced with
careful supervision in small numbers so that we can spend a lot of time with
each kitten.
Our kittens are not only
guaranteed in health but also to be spoiled. Our kitty condo is a special
section we built onto our home to give our 'four legged family members' a place
of their own while still feeling they can still share a large part of our home
and hearts.
The Pixie-Bob is an intelligent and loyal cat, muscular and heavy-boned. Males
range from 16-22 pounds as adults, though females are smaller, usually in 8-12
pounds in adulthood. They are quiet, affectionate, and usually very trainable.
There are many conflicting stories about the origin of this
breed. Most of these legends revolve around the idea that the Pixie-Bob
originated from a mating between wild bobcats and domestic cats. DNA evidence
does not support wild origins, which has led to the term "Legend Cat" to
describe offspring of the alleged bobcat/domestic mating.
Coat patterns include spots, broken bars, and rosettes. The double coat can be
short or semi-long. A straight foot Pixie-Bob has the normal number of toes
usually allotted to a cat -- 5 in the front, 4 in the back. A poly or polydactyl
Pixie-Bob has more than the usual allotted number.
The Pixie-Bob is the only breed of cat currently accepted by any major
association that allows polydactyl, also commonly known as seven-toed, although
there can be more or less than seven. Polydactyl most commonly occurs on the
front feet only, but cats with more toes on both the front and back can also be
found occasionally. In all other breeds except the Pixie-Bob, polydactyl is a
disqualifying fault.
The Pixie-Bob is accepted by TICA. Although often and erroneously described as a
hybrid, the breed is registered as a fully domestic breed by TICA.
