Cats born without a tail, also known as bobtails, are a fascinating and unique group of felines. These cats are characterized by their complete or partial lack of a tail, a trait that can occur naturally or as a result of genetics.

Bobtails have been around for centuries, and their distinctive appearance has made them popular among cat enthusiasts. While the exact cause of bobtails is unknown, one theory suggests that it is due to a genetic mutation that affects the development of the tailbone. Bobtails can be found in a variety of breeds, including the Manx, Japanese Bobtail, and American Bobtail.
