Looks like my mom’s kitty. Very cute. Looks like your varied domestic short hair. Love His stripes.

Beautiful cat, he looks like a short haired domestic tabby to me

He is not a pixie bob because his back legs aren’t disproportionate to his front legs. Egyptian maus have a “M” shaped marking of their forehead, and I don’t see that in these pics. If you didn’t buy him from a breeder, he’s probably just a domestic short hair silver and black tabby. Doesn’t matter what he is- he’s gorgeous and I’ll bet he is a sweet loving baby!
Consider getting him neutered if you haven’t already- prevents reproductive cancer and bad behaviors such as fighting and spraying in the house.
Best wishes

He’s an adorable domestic shorthair (DSH). If you didn’t purchase him from a breeder with papers, he cannot be classified as a recognized breed. Non-pedigreed cats are all classified simply as domestic shorthair (DSH) or domestic longhair (DLH). Coat color and length, body size and shape and markings can be of any combination imaginable. Breeders are typically very careful and do not permit their cats to breed indiscriminately, so the chances that your kitty has any pedigreed bloodlines is very rare. 95% of all cats do not. Many recognized breeds were created, however, through selective breeding of DSH and/or DLH cats. As a result, it’s not uncommon at all for a DSH or DLH to have one or two characteristics that resemble a recognized breed.

He’s a domestic shorthair. He has the tabby markings. DSH just means that he isn’t a purebred cat. If he didn’t come from a breeder or with papers, then that is what he is.
Here is a link about tabby cats:

Your cat isn’t purebred anything. You have a domestic shorthair (DSH). Your cat probably has nothing pure in it. It is just a product of many, many generations of non-pedigreed domestic cats.

He does have a very Ocicat and Pixie Bob looking face, but his markings aren’t quite the same. He has more of a brown mackerel pattern and colour than the spots Ocicats tend to have.
Does he have a registered pedigree paper to show what breed he is? If not, unfortunately, without this, it’s very difficult to find the parentage, type and breed of the kitten/cat.
Without a proven pedigree, cats with short hair are classed as Domestic Short Hairs or DSH for short.
He looks really happy in all his photos and is a handsome chappy too
I’m sure he gives you hours of fun, games and love, something that no cat needs a pedigree for to prove how much they adore their human companions 
All the best.
