Proverbs 3:13-14

	Pixie Bob Terms FEET Polydactyl or Poly - Having extra toes. The Pixie Bob is the only breed allowing extra toes as part of their standard. Straight - Normal cat feet. No extra toes. Mitten Paws - Polydactyl feet that appear to have a thumb, like the cat is wearing a mitten. See Dac & Sniper, below. Hamburger Patty "Patty" Paws - Polydactyl with all toes touching the ground in a full, round foot. See Magnum at left.
Sniper was standing on the scanner for this picture.	COAT		Dac gives you a great view of a mitten paw.
Long Hair - A shaggy, medium length coat, not long like a Persian. See Desert top, right. Short Hair - A shorter coat, but still thick and plush. Most of the Agents on this page are considered short hairs.		Double Coat - A plush, wooly undercoat with longer, coarser "guard" hairs that stand out from the body. Sassy, center, above, shows a double coat which gives her a "halo" affect Stand-out Coat - A coat that stands away from the body, not slick or flat.
	COLOR PATTERNS Brown Tabby is the only acceptable color for the Pixie Bob Agouti (Ticked Tabby) - Lacking pattern, like a rabbit's coat. See Baycha., left. Sometimes referred to as "trout spotting." Classic - Having a circular, bull's eye type pattern. See Chaz below left. Mackerel - Having stripes. See Catch 22, right. Broken Mackerel - Having some stripes, or rib bars, but most stripes breaking up into spots. This is a legal show pattern and the spotting of most show cats. See Tag and Shikyna below. Spotted - Displaying random spotting, very similar to the broken Mackerel, but without the barring. Shikyna, right, displays random spotting. All Pixie Bobs should have a muted pattern because of blond tipping on the end of each hair.

Solitaire showing great examples of predator markings, a bobcat white muzzle, mascara lines, white under her eyes, dark whisker lines and incredible ear tufts.		Ear Tufts (Ear Tips) - long tufts of hair on the tips of the ears. Predator Markings - Markings that add to the wild look, mascara lines, bobcat white, light hair around eyes, thumbprints, etc. Mascara Lines - a dark line extending from the outer edge of the eye downward Bobcat White - very light hair on the muzzle, chin, chest and belly. Differs from true white, as the skin is dark and many times the root of the hair is gray. EYE COLOR There are only 2 acceptable eye colors for show (see photos): Gold (Yellow) & Gooseberry Green Kittens are born with blue eyes. They change color at about 5 weeks.
Rufus - chestnut or reddish undercoat Banded Hairs - Each hair has 4 bands of color. From base, Mouse gray, rufus, brown, cream. Ticked or Muted Coat - refers to the blond tips of the hairs. Almost looks frosted. This is what mutes the pattern. Differs from Ticked Tabby.		Thumbprint or Ocelli- a light spot on the back of the ear Muttonchops or Cheek Wings - long hair extending downward from cheeks Flat Brow - Flat upper brow boning, giving an angry or worried look to the eye. Primordial Belly Pouch - loose skin hanging from belly.
Tag displays ear tipping, a heavy, flat brow over gooseberry green eyes, a lot of rufus, cheek wings and a great muzzle.	TAILS Bobcat Length - Can vary breeder to breeder, but generally means a tail that reaches the bottom of the buttock. Rumpy - Very short or no tail. Hock Length - Tail to the hock joint of the hind leg. Riser - A very short tail that rises above the back when held up. Stumpy - Slightly longer than a riser, but only a couple of vertebra. Long - Normal, long cat tail. Dock - Born with long tail, then docked shorter, like a Spaniel or Rottweiler dog. Kinks - Pixie Bobs often have kinks, knots and curls in their tails.		Mandy showing off her flat brow, and very rufus, ticked coat. She has gold eyes.
Legend Cat - Referring to the cat believed to have bobcat ancestry, or resulting from the alleged Bobcat/Domestic cat mating. There has never been proof of such a mating. Of course, this is a "Legend" and like most legends... Blue List - regulations change, but this is an attempt to trace the Pixie Bob pedigree back to "Pixie". TICA - The International Cat Association FTLOP - "For the Love of Pixie", a club for Pixie Bob enthusiasts. IPBS - "International Pixie Bob Society", official TICA PixieBob club.
