Summary
About American Bobtail
American Bobtails are medium to large, sturdy cats with a natural short tail and wild, bobcat‑like look. Affectionate, social, and “dog‑like,” they enjoy fetch, harness walks, and greeting guests. Intelligent escape artists, they need enrichment, secure housing, and regular grooming.
About American Curl
The American Curl is a medium-sized, athletic cat best known for its backward-curled ears and alert look. Playful and people-oriented, it suits families, singles and multi-pet homes. Found in long or short coats and many colors, it is generally healthy, adaptable and moderately easy to groom.
