This wild look does not reflect the true nature of the cat, which is loving, trustworthy and tractable. The Pixie-Bob comes in the shorthair and longhair varieties. The Pixie-Bob has an inverted pear-shaped head, heavily hooded eyes, strong muzzle and chin. Strong heavy muscular body with substantial boning, like the North American Bobcat. Females are proportionately smaller than the males.

A ruff around the neck (longhair). Tail bone shorter than tip of thumb to first knuckle, (approximately 1 inch), and full length tail. Round eyes.

Temperament must be unchallenging; any sign of definite challenge shall disqualify. The cat may exhibit fear, seek to flee, or generally complain aloud but may not threaten to harm.
