Black Creek Bobis

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.
