The Kurilian Bobtail is a cat breed originating from the Kuril Islands of Russia. It has a semi-cobby body type and a distinct short, fluffy tail. The backs are slightly arched with hind legs longer than the front, similar to that of the Manx.[1]
It is considered one of the rarest cat breeds.
It is found on the Russian Kuril Islands, as well as Sakhalin Island and the Kamchatka peninsula of Russia.
The Kurilian Bobtail is recognized by the World Cat Federation, The International Cat Association and the Fédération Internationale Féline but not the Cat Fanciers Association.
