Cats
may be bred together, with offspring registered according to their appearance. Solid white
offspring with either straight or curled coats and either straight or curled ears are considered
Alpine Lynx. Non-white kittens with rexed coats are considered Mohave Bobs. Non-white
kittens with straight coats and straight ears are considered Desert Lynx. Non-white kittens
with straight coats and curled ears are considered Highland Lynx.
In spite of their bobcatty appearance, DNA testing of cats within the Desert Lynx grouping
has not found bobcat markers and these cats are considered to be wholly domestic cats by
registries.
The Jungle Bob is a mix of F chaus (Jungle Cat) and PixieBob producing Jungle Cat type cat
with a bobbed tail. There are also alleged Bengal/Bobcat hybrids in existence.
As well as the main groupings of bobtailed cats, the trait crops up elsewhere through random
mutation
