About the American Bobtail

The American Bobtail is a distinctive breed renowned for its stubby "bobbed" tail, athletic build, and intelligent, dog-like personality. Developed from a natural genetic mutation, they are slow to mature, often taking two to three years to reach full size. These cats are known for their adaptability, playful demeanor, and strong bonding with their human families, often following them around and enjoying games like fetch. Their wild appearance belies a gentle, affectionate nature.
