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 Nebelung
The Nebelung is a medium, semi‑longhaired blue cat with a silky, silver‑tipped coat and vivid green eyes. Calm, loyal and sensitive, it bonds closely with chosen people, prefers quiet homes, sheds little for its coat length, and enjoys gentle play, routine and thoughtful handling.
