The American Bobtail cat is an uncommon breed of domestic cat which was developed in the late 1960s. It is most notable for its stubby "bobbed" tail about one-third to one-half the length of an ordinary cat's tail. This is the result of a cat body type genetic mutation affecting the tail development, similar to that of a Manx cat. The breed is not related to the Japanese Bobtail cat despite the similar name and physical type—the breeding programs are entirely unrelated, and the genetic mutation causing the bobbed tail is known to be different because the mutation causing the American Bobtail's tail is dominant, whereas the Japanese Bobtail cat tail mutation is recessive.
American Bobtails are a very sturdy breed, with both short- and long-haired coats. Their coat is shaggy rather than dense or fluffy. They can have any color of eyes and coat, emphasizing the "wild" tabby appearance in show animals.
Urban legend says that American Bobtails are the result of cross-breeding between a domestic tabby cat and a wild bobcat. The unusual tail is actually the result of a random spontaneous genetic mutation within the domestic cat population and may be related to the Manx gene, which is also dominant. Yodie, a short-tailed brown tabby male, was mated with a seal-point Siamese female to create the American Bobtail's original bloodline. Most of the early lineages have died out.
American Bobtails require two to three years to develop, slower than many domestic cat breeds. The American Bobtail cat is a hearty, short-tailed cat. Its body is moderately long, with substantial boning, and stocky.
American Bobtails are playful, social, and moderately energetic. They reportedly have enough clever ingenuity to escape from rooms with closed doors and from secured cages. Being social with their owners and caretakers, they will ask for the attention they want by meowing or just by hopping into laps. American Bobtails are moderately energetic and love traveling. Thanks to their highly adaptable nature, they quickly adapt to new environments, and that's why they are excellent companions for travelers.
