We don’t know where our cat Tabbitha came from, she just showed up one day. She is the friendliest cat and loves to be pet, but she isn’t a very good indoor cat, there is something very wild about her still. She’s a very good mommy cat though. She was showing interest in Old Dan’s doghouse, before she had her kittens, so we made a safe place for her to have her kittens in there. But in the end she decided to have them in the garage on Randy’s work-bench behind a stack of tools, in some sawdust from the radial-arm-saw. In the pictures that is what you see all over the kittens. We’ve had a lot of cats and kittens here during the 18 years in June, that we’ve been here. We learned you can’t really get attached to them because they wander off for one reason or another. The two big Pixie Cats that were here when we came back from S.C. have been here for over a year, we think they are offspring of some cats we had before we went to S.C. in 2007, one looks like a cat we used to call Sox, but there is no telling if that is the same cat. Tabbitha came shortly after we got back last August. All that said, I’m getting very attached to her and now her kittens. One of them looks black with a white star on it’s head, white neck and white feet, but in the pictures it seems there is a little stripping in the black, I want to keep that one and see if it can be trained to be an indoor cat. Two look like the father(s), which look like Tabby striped cats, and one is an all blackish gray colored. I will be very sad to see any of them go.

I got the “Pixie Cat” term from a neighbor, he lives in the gorge behind our water tower. He was out hiking with his two sons and stopped by to chat with us one day while we were chopping down a couple of our dead trees. He used the term pixie cat to describe our cats. Everything I read about these cats seems like a made up breed to me, but it is a colorful term and interesting story.
