The American Bobtail is a sturdy, medium-to-large cat with a wild, bobcat-like appearance, most notable for its short, expressive tail that is about one-third to one-half the length of a typical cat’s tail. Its shaggy coat can be short or long and comes in a dazzling array of colors and patterns, often favoring “wild” tabby markings. With a broad head, alert almond-shaped eyes, and powerful build, it exudes an untamed yet approachable charm. Available colors include black, blue, brown, chocolate, cinnamon, fawn, lilac, red, cream, and more, with or without white.
With their medium-to-long shaggy coats, American Bobtails benefit from weekly brushing to prevent tangles and reduce shedding. Their dense fur can trap debris, so regular checks and the occasional bath keep them fresh. Routine nail trims and ear checks are also recommended for optimal hygiene.
American Bobtails are playful, intelligent, and highly adaptable. They’re known for their affectionate nature and bond deeply with their families, including children. Their easygoing temperament makes them friendly with other pets as well.
American Bobtails are playful and moderately active, thriving on daily interactive play sessions. They enjoy games of fetch and puzzle toys to keep both body and mind engaged. Their intelligence means they benefit from rotating toys and occasional training exercises.
