A “breed of tailless cat” refers to a specific type of domestic cat that has a naturally occurring genetic mutation resulting in a shortened or absent tail. Examples of such breeds include the Manx, Japanese Bobtail, and American Bobtail.

Tailless cat breeds have been prized for their unique physical characteristic throughout history and are often sought after by cat enthusiasts. These breeds exhibit a range of tail lengths, from short and stubby to completely absent, and are known for their playful and affectionate personalities. Additionally, the tailless trait does not typically impact the cat’s overall health or mobility, making them suitable companions for families with children or other pets.
