Though there are many breeds of cats all
around us, some cats are very uncommon and not very easy to find. Among these rare
kinds of cats is the American Bobtail. American Bobtail is a very uncommon and
a relatively new breed of cat. This breed appeared some time in the 1960’s. This
cat is famous for its stubby bobbed tail, which is one-third to maximum
one-fourth of the length of a tail of a normal cat. This kind of tail is due to
the genetic mutation, which affects only the tail. The American Bob Tail is not
similar to the Japanese Bob Tail though the physical appearance of both the cats
is the same. The gene mutation of both the cats is very different because the
gene causing the tail of the American Bob is dominant, whereas in Japanese Bob,
it is recessive.
