American Bobtail
The American Bobtail is a naturally occurring short-tailed cat, brawny, of medium to large size, with a shaggy, semi-longhair coat. It should be well-fleshed and muscular, without being overly fat. The tail is short, reaching halfway to the hock, and should stand erect when the cat is alert. The look belies a tractable temperament, though the cat may be initially reserved with strangers. Males can be proportionately larger than females, and have male characteristics. Seasonal variations of the coat should be recognized. This cat should be a cat with a wild look, not a wild temperament. American Bobtails are not yet widely recognized.
