The Kurilian Bobtail is a natural breed of cat tracing its origins to the Russian Kurile Islands.
The Kurilian Bobtail is native to the Kuril Islands, which give it its name. The Kurilian Bobtail is a natural cat breed, meaning that it was developed by natural selection over time rather than via any kind of human manipulation. It has been gaining popularity throughout Russia since the middle of the 20th century. Still, the breed is not well-known outside of Russia. The Kurilian Bobtail’s look might be similar to a wild cat, but this breed is exceedingly gentle and friendly. Active and outgoing, Kurilian Bobtails are charming companions that love to cuddle and play. Thanks to its exceptionally easy-going personality, the Kurilian Bobtail gets along with everyone, including gentle children. That laidback attitude extends to the animal kingdom as well; the Kurilian Bobtail typically co-exists peacefully with family pets including other cats and friendly dogs.
