Generally healthy breed
Some Pixiebob cats are polydactyl, meaning that they are born with an extra toes on either their front or back feet. This can cause problems as the extra toes may not be attached to the feet properly and
may not be fully functioning, making them more prone to injury. Because of this, encouraging extra toes in breeding is not recommended.
