Where are Pixiebob cats from?
Pixiebob cats are from the United States, specifically from Washington State. They were first bred in the 1980s and are said to have descended from a naturally occurring lineage. The breed was developed to resemble wild bobcats while still being domesticated and affectionate. 
They’re cherished for their wild look but friendly and dog-like personality. The International Cat Association (TICA) recognized the Pixiebob as an official new breed in 1994.
