The American bobtail cat The American bobtail cat is an uncommon breed whose most typical characteristic is the one that honors its name: a short tail. Besides this, this cat has a very distinctive wild look. They are loving cats with an impressive intelligence. The American bobtail cat developed through natural selection; at least initially, their short tail is the result of genetic mutation. In the 1960s, the Sanders family went on vacation to Arizona and acquired this shorttailed kitten. They named him Yodi and crossed him with their female cat Mishi. All of their cats were born with short tails, which gave a clue that the trait was dominant. They bred these kittens with other cats with short tails throughout the United States and Canada, and they selectively bred them to make the resulting cat big, sturdy, and sweettempered. The International Cat Association officially recognized the breed in 1989 and gave it full recognition in 2012. The body of the American Bobtail Cat is somewhat long with a rectangular stance. The short tail can be straight or curved and is visible while it is in an upright position. They are strong and usually weigh between 8 and 13 pounds. One of the most striking characteristics of the American bobtail cat is its high intelligence. These cats have the ability to escape from closed spaces and even from cages. They are devoted to their family and are moderately energetic, playful, and social. When this cat is alert, its tail is held straight up. The American bobtail comes in all colors and coat patterns, both in longhaired and shorthaired varieties. Despite its rather wild appearance, the American bobtail is friendly, highly intelligent, adaptable, and personable. It is often described as having a doglike temperament. Bobtails are exceptionally affectionate and devoted to their owners and can be quite demanding of attention.
