Historic Document - Article from Carol Ann

Here's an article based on the belief Pixie & Maggie were 1/2 bobcat.  Thereby the fractions are created based upon this assumption.

Thanks to Richard Koons for supplying this article,

It reads “These cats are propagated in the pattern set by the ancient Arabian horse breeders; with the dam lines being of the utmost importance.  Petey daughters of the beautiful Pixie and Maggie, were both half-bloods, and are the foundation stock at StoneIsland. We have 1/8, 1/4, and 3/8 bobcat blood cats with the balance being Manx. We believe the Manx cat to be an excellent choice for hybridising because of the similarities between the breeds. What we are achieving after 8 years of breeding carefully is consistent beauty, size, intelligence, and bobcat characteristics, including the elusive bobcat tall.  We take our cats very seriously here at Stone Island!”
