I have really slacked on posting the cats lately. Let's start fixing that with an Onyx appreciation post!

The Ultimate Guide to Pixiebob Cats: Everything You Need to Know About This Bobcat-Like Breed

Imagine a cat that looks like it just strolled out of a forest, with a spotted coat, tufted ears, and a short, bobbed tail reminiscent of a North American bobcat. Now picture that same cat curling up on your lap, following you around like a loyal dog, and chirping happily during playtime. That’s the Pixiebob—a domestic breed that blends exotic allure with a heart full of affection. Whether you’re…

If you were a cat, what kind of cat would you be?

Pixiebob?

As a female One Piece fan, how do you feel about how increasingly sexualized the female characters have become? The biggest example is probably Nami, who started out with a tomboyish design and fairly practical outfits but is now a scantily-clad fanservice character with massive breasts.

Depends. If you're talking about the anime, they deliberately take creative freedoms to accentuate fanservice, and sure, it's a little annoying for them to be changing the blocking of the source just to put Robin's boobs up front, but in terms of manga, it's kinda almost always been like that? You can go back as far as the East Blue arcs and characters like Vivi, post-devil fruit Alvida and Nojiko already wearing what could be considered suggestive clothing and/or rocking the One Piece female standard body type. Jump into the Arabasta arc and you've got Miss Doublefinger basically in fetish gear. I think Oda has always made a conscious decision that despite having sexy characters as a constant in his story, he rarely draws or depicts them as sexualized, but even then it's almost always accompanied by a visual gag or bit. The only scenes I can recall on hand that explicitly had more (arguably darker) sexual tones was when Absalom spied on Nami in the shower, and him grabbing and licking Robin, but like all despicable One Piece characters similar to that of Spandam, they usually get a ridiculous level of comeuppance (in this case, being murdered by the Blackbeard Pirates).

Now I've had this discussion about Nami specifically before and I haven't changed my position even after all these years. As an audience, we're introduced to Nami as Arlong's crew Nami; an underling forced to work under the very despot who killed her adopted mother at the threat of murdering everyone and everything she's ever loved and cared about. That's the Nami we know right up until her facade breaks down and genuinely asks for Luffy to help her. That Nami, despite greed being an intrinsic part of her character, almost never acts selfishly or in her own interests beyond stealing money to buy her village back for all of her childhood into her developing years as a woman. None of that time is spent thinking about herself, she's fueled by vengeance and fear, there's no time allowed to be thinking about trivial girly things that most 10-17 year olds should be allowed to think about. So when Nami is finally freed, she stops hiding herself, she finally indulges in herself and becomes her final form, this beautiful, smart, greedy girlboss that can canonically harm Luffy if she's angry enough because it's funny! Everyone agrees Nami is beautiful in-world, but out of necessity as a cat-burglar, she dressed for her occupation. Freed of that obligation, every colour page and title cover, openings in the anime and even in the movies, Nami's downtime is depicted as having a good time with her crew; shopping clothing and accessories with Robin, putting her hair up in different fun hairstyles, wearing clothes that makes her happy because she's confident and unafraid anymore. To me, that's what Nami always was, despite how one might judge how she dresses or how she looks now.

I will agree though I do miss her original asymmetrical pixiebob, and I also wish Oda had went with her original design with the cyborg arm :p

Hi there! I saw your reply to pangur-and-grim about Belphegor, and your statement about cat breeds as coming in three basic shapes was new to me. Triangular and round seem self-explanatory to me, but I was wondering if you had other examples of square breeds?

The most immediately recognizable square breed I can think of off the top of my head is the majestic Maine Coon. Look at that big ole box.

The Pixiebob, American Shorthair, and American Curl are also pretty solidly square in my eyes. Bear in mind that calling a cat breed's shape round, square, or triangular is a bit like calling a letter/shape Kiki or Bouba - it's vibes more than it is scientific. But there are certainly characteristics common among certain shaped cats that are not common among others. As you said, round cats and triangle cats are pretty self-explanatory - square cats are those breeds that hang out somewhere in between the two.

That pixie bob cat is really cute. Is it true they’re actually half bobcat?

From my understanding, DNA testing has not shown any sign that Pixiebob cats actually have bobcat DNA in them, so it's just a rumor.

Furthermore, I'm pretty sure outcrosses to actual bobcats are not permitted.

They just are bred to look like bobcats!

Today, I went to a cat cafe for the first time. It was so nice 🥺 I petted lots of ex-stray kitties. Three of them even purred! I really want to take one of them home, but I need some time to think about it thoroughly and prepare accordingly. It's a huge responsibility, after all. There are two more cat cafes to visit and select a kitty. For now, I'd like to take Pixiebob home.

fun fact, those are called lynx tufts! it's theorized they could possibly function similar to whiskers or somehow enhance hearing,but there hasn't been any real data to confirm this (as far as i know anyway)

they're considered a rare trait but they're more common in certain breeds like Maine Coons. (usually though most domestic cats won't have their tufts as long as a wild lynx does.) according to Catster, they are:

• Maine Coon

• Norwegian Forest Cat

• American Curl

• Highlander

• Pixiebob

• Turkish Van

• Ragdoll

• Siberian

• LaPerm

• Nebelung

as well as lynxes, servals and caracals. :) technically all wild cats but the caracal /can/ be domesticated, usually only acting that way for their domesticator. (so, you can't tame them for humans in general, just you)

Look at the little tufts of fur at the end of PK’s ears. This is insane. How could this happen…

[idl3dr3ams]

psst just so u know calico and tortoiseshell cats are almost always female!! it’s very very rare that they’re not, and when they’re male they’re sterile. so if u want maggie and glenn to have hershel still in ur warriors au, he would prob need to be another color ):

also if ur having trouble choosing u could expand ur horizons to purebred cats and even wild hybrids. i dont think its out of the question since the atlanta group are mostly kittypets, esp if they’re half or a quarter (insert breed here). could be cool to make someone (maybe a villain or just someone who’s stronger / bigger / wilder) be like a savannah cat or pixiebob (https://www.thesprucepets.com/hybrid-cat-breeds-4176576) too, domestic mixed with a wild cat.

tentatively suggesting oriental cat for glenn (PLEASE excuse the name in relation to him i feel bad but that’s what they’re called aldkfslf) bc they’re known for being sleek and fast and still come in every color u could want

I know Calicos are pretty much always female, there was a whole activity in my grade 11 biology class. I did temporarily forget that the mutation made them sterile though, cause the calico coloring is tied to a second X chromosome. So he would have to be an XXY male.

Taking your suggestion for a villain: I might make The Governer a pixie-bob. I feel like that fits for him.

Look at this cursed image of Dori I took at like 3am.

She has so many beds but she decided she likes the towel I dumped on the floor.

Mcm London day 1! I went as pixie bob the wild wild pussy cat from My Hero Academia.

Kayla said I needed to get a photo beside the mcm sign cause it was my first ever London comic con 👉👈

Thanks for taking the photo on my phone for me @papercube

I think day one I was very underwhelmed. It felt like I'd paid alot of money just to go to a shop? I definitely made a mistake going to @gamescom first cause it's HUGE and there's so much to do 🤣 Idk why I thought London comic con was only a little smaller than that. 🤡🤡

But as the weekend went on I definitely saw the appeal of getting a chance to work with so many talented photographers and to meet so many amazing cosplayers. Just is a lot of money when you're a broke student 🥹🥹.

At least my expectations if I ever go again have been adjusted to be more realistic 🤣
