About the American Bobtail
A naturally bobtailed breed with a wild-looking shaggy coat, developed from feral cats found in Arizona and the Midwest. The short tail ranges from one to four inches. Noted for dog-like personalities and ease of leash training. Excellent travelers, occasionally working as therapy cats.
