Cats
with female Siamese cats because the scent of a Siamese female in season resembles that of a
sexually receptive female bobcat. Bobcats can and do mate with domestic cats to produce at
least some fertile offspring.
The Si-Bob (Si-Bobtail) is not a formal breed. It is the colloquial name for colourpointed cats
of Japanese Bobtail or American Bobtail type. These are not recognised as part of the main
breeds and their breeding is not actively encouraged, but they are attractive crossbreds not
unlike the Thai Bobtails. Si-Bobtails occur naturally in Japan.
The PixieBob (1995) was, and sometimes still is, reputed to be derived from natural
bobcat/domestic hybrids and to have inherited its tail from the bobcat. It is a polydactyl
(extra-toed) breed derived from "Legend Cats" and in some respects it resembles a bobcat.
The presence of bobcat genes has not been confirmed though the cat certainly resembles the
wild species in several respects
