That cat's fur is soo pretty! What kind of cat is that?

cshellenberger · 04-13-2007, 10:43 PM

Desi is a Pixie Bob.

Hey, we need some pics of Lily!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!

Katzyn · 04-13-2007, 10:47 PM

My sister's kitty is going to that same show with Lily, as well. =) I'll be showing her for my sister, most of the time. She's going in as a HouseHold Pet. =)

cshellenberger · 04-13-2007, 10:49 PM

Oh she's beautiful!! I could still show Desi in Altered class, but I don't have the time to travel around like that.

Good luck to both of you!

Katzyn · 04-13-2007, 10:54 PM

Thank you, CS, for the compliment on Newbee (the kitty), and for the good luck wishes. =)

xoxluvablexox · 04-13-2007, 10:55 PM

That cat is gorgeous.
'Kitty- do you have to register your cat with something for it to earn points and stuff at a show? I'm confused about what you would register it with. TICA or CFA or are both of those legit?

cshellenberger · 04-13-2007, 11:17 PM

Both are legit. Mine is TICA registered, because it is suspected of having wild bloodlines CFA won't recognize the breed.

Katzyn · 04-13-2007, 11:23 PM

Luvable, you'd have to ask someone other than me. =) I didn't have to register Newbee, simply because she's not pure-bred anything.

This show that we're all attending is a CFA show, and I think SillyLilyKitty may be able to answer your question 1000 times better than I ever could.

CS, CFA doesn't recognize Pixies? =O Or was it just your cat in particular that they didn't recognize?

xoxluvablexox · 04-13-2007, 11:26 PM

Oh okay. That's stupid that they're against registering a breed because it has wild bloodlines. All domesticated animals do and it's a really gorgeous cat. Oh well, atleast its regerstable with TICA.

xoxluvablexox · 04-13-2007, 11:27 PM

They don't register the breed because it has Bobcat blood running threw it aparently.

Katzyn · 04-13-2007, 11:30 PM

There's other breeds that have wild cats' bloodlines, too. =/ I can't think of one right away, but I know they're there. ^_^' And they're registered. Maybe the Pixies are still too new, if they aren't registerable?

cshellenberger · 04-13-2007, 11:39 PM

They don't recognize Pixies, Bengals, or Savannas. There's not actual proof of Bobcat blood in Pixies, certainly it is against breed standard to PUPRPOSLY introduce wild blood.

Wild bloodlines! wow, I bet the Ocicat did something to that extent at the begining. But dont you think the Bengel would be registered with CFA first? Arent they an older breed than the Pixiebob? I dont know a lot about those cats because they are with TICA not CFA (which is where Lily is registered).

xoxluvablexox · 04-14-2007, 09:41 AM

The Pixxie bob would probably be more likely to get registered before the Bengal because the Bengal deff has wild ancestry but the Pixie bob they're not really sure about. It might have Bobcat in it's ancestry but some people don't really agree with that.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengal_cat

I think cshellenberger posted a link about the Pixie bob earlier and it said that they did DNA testing wich failed to prove the Pixie bob is in any way related to the bobcat. *shrugs* It still looks like one and I've always liked the wilder looking cats, hence the Ocicat is by far my most favorite cat in the world.

By the way you cat is gorgeous. She's a Blue Point right?
