American Bobtail Cats

The American Bobtail cat is a wild-looking but sweet-natured breed known for its muscular body, thick tail stump, and lynx-like face. Originally developed from a naturally short-tailed feral cat in the U.S., this breed has a rugged appearance but a gentle heart.

American Bobtails are smart, affectionate, and great with families. They often bond deeply with their humans and get along well with children, dogs, and other pets. Many love to play fetch, walk on leashes, and even travel—earning them comparisons to dogs.

Their shaggy coats come in both short and long varieties and need only moderate grooming. With their calm yet playful personality and love of people, American Bobtails are an ideal choice for active households looking for a loyal, low-maintenance companion.
