Relatively a breed of cat that has not gained the high degree of popularity is the American bobtail cat. Appeared in the last phase of 1960’s, the American bobtail cats have not yet been accepted by the cat fancier community of the world. The most distinguishable part of an American bobtail cat is its stubby bobbed tail, which adds weight to the beauty of the animal. The tail of an American bobtail cat is mot more than about one-third to one-half the total length of the other normal breeds of cats. It is due to the genetic mutation that the length of the tail of this breed of cat has become bobbed and shorter as compared to rest of the other breeds of cats.
The American bobtail cats – both the shorthaired and the longhaired versions tend to be quite sturdy and energetic. Although, seems to be of same categories the American bobtail cats are entirely different from the Japanese bobtail cats and the genes that play role in the mutation are entirely different as well.
History
As per many cat fanciers and the researchers the American bobtail cats was developed by crossing breeding the bobcat and domestic tabby cat. According to them the original bloodline of the American bobtail cats had resulted from a series of systematic crossbreeding of different varieties of cats. The first step was the combination of a female Seal point Siamese cat and a male Short-tailed brown tabby cat. This established the basic bloodline of the American bobtail cats. But later the Birman cats, Himalayan cats and Himalayan-Siamese cross elements were combined to the basic bloodline to get what is known to be the American bobtail cats in the present days. The continuous trial for developing the breed by the way of genetic modification have resulted the arrival of the new shorthaired version of the breed.
