These intelligent cats replicate the look of the wild bobcat but have the loving personality of the domestic cat. All our Pixie bobs and cats for sale are registered with TICA.

Why airplanes?
Dakota C-47 Skytrain ("Dakota")
Dakota C-47 Skytrain ("Dakota")
You may not have noticed, but we here at Emerald Exotics have a thing for aviation. Each of our foundation cats is named for an airplane, military or aerospace. terminology or unit. Not only is it a fun theme for our family to always be on the lookout for the next great airplane name, it was the only way my family would let me convert our dining room into a cattery!
Check out the great airplanes behind each of our cats.

Martin "XB-26E" Marauder "Gypsy Rose" ("Rosie")
Somewhat whimsically, the stripped-down aircraft was named Gypsy Rose, after the well-known stripper of the day, Gypsy Rose Lee. As part of the program, the dorsal turret was moved forward and mounted over the radio operator's compartment. This resulted in an improved field of fire, and the relocation actually improved the flight characteristics. The plane was tested at Wright Field in March of 1943.
