Bobtail | Animalibus

Bobtail cat breeds stand out for their unique tail, or lack thereof. Resulting from a naturally occurring genetic mutation, these cat breeds don't have the long, expressive tail of most domesticated cats. Instead, they either have some or none of that full tail length. What little tails they do have may be straight, kinked, or bent. And some are extra fluffy. Besides the tail, these cat breeds range in appearance, size, and personality.
