Mèo Pixie-bob

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 (Felis catus). However, they were selectively bred in the U.S. intended to resemble the North American bobcat (Lynx rufus). They are relatively large-sized polydactyl cats with a short tail, and have a black spotted tabby coat.
