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 Thai
The Thai is a moderate, old-style Siamese with a muscular medium build, blue eyes, and low-maintenance pointed coat. Social, vocal, and intelligent, it craves daily interaction, play, and climbing. Generally healthy, it may face PRA, HCM, and dental issues, so regular vet care is important.
