Welcome!
Get acquainted - a native Russian breed of cats Kurilian bobtail, developed naturally and living on Kuriles of the Far East. About existence of these cats was known long before the beginning of the Second World war but then all of them were considered Japanese bobtails, and till now still there is a dispute for a national identity of some islands of the Kuril ridge.
just on one of these disputable grounds unusual representatives cat's also have been found out.
if to look in front is like a cat as a cat, and if behind - the real hare. The same pompon - tail , the same long back legs, the characteristic "harel" form. And if to look sideways - before us the present lynx only little bit reduced.
Therefore, in spite of the fact that inherently Kurilian bobtail is simply a version of a usual cat, at first sight it you will not tell. First of all, is evident a unusual tail of bobtail, but not only in a tail … .Similarity to lynx is appreciable - so its figure reminds difference of this animal. The body of bobtail brawny, compact and short, noticeably is shorter, than at usual cats , but growth at it above. In fact legs at it powerful and long, nearly in one and a half time are longer, than at a house cat. For this reason bobtail the best jumper among all breeds of cats and it is easy, without start "flies up" on the height inaccessible to usual cats.
by the way, running forward, say, ability to such jumps does not deliver efforts to owners - it is much compensated by intelligence and the good breeding, peculiar to this breed.
Possibly, from the nearest "Siberian" relative, Kurilian bobtail, besides a brawny body, has inherited a wide muzzle, and from other relative - Japanese bobtail - a short tail-flourish, sensitive ears, elastic paws and unique temperament.
It is necessary to mention especial charm of Kuril cats.
at strong skeleton and a rich silky fur coat, Kurilian bobtail combines a little bit animal sight of a taiga predator with directly dog fidelity and heart of an angel.
So, who is it - Kurilian bobtail ….. - wild short-tailed cat living on Kuriles of the Far East. Perhaps, it is enough for a long time, during an epoch of the Middle Ages, and can even earlier, seamen and trailblazers have left a small amount of house cats on islands. They have run wild, were multiplied and in conditions of island isolation some centuries have absolutely changed the external shape and habits.
the severe climate of Kuriles has awarded bobtails with a magnificent dense wool. On length it approximately corresponds to a wool of Siberians though can be and more longly and more shortly. Wool of kurilian bobtail is silky and pleasant to the touch, but the main difference of a wool of bobtail all the same not in its length and gentle silkiness, and in rather original structure adapted for a wild way of life. In fact in conditions of a severe climate of the native land of bobtails, there is no opportunity to devote much time to care of a fur coat. And consequently, wool of K.bobtail is extremely practical - it does not fall down, owing to more rigid and long integumentary hair, practically does not fade, is hardly spoiled and long does not soak through under a rain.
p> Such fitness of the Kuril wool to a wild life, does its so convenient for a city apartment. If owners of the Persian cats well know, what inconveniences are delivered with a magnificent wool of their favourites bobtails more or less noticeably fade only during the first moult when change "children's" fur of a kitten on "adult"
And one more distinctive feature of these cats, bobtail have no smell. Probably it speaks that else more recently they lived in natural conditions of the nature and extracted to itself food, and to have a smell, for many predators, it means to give out itself to a victim. But the fact remains the fact, and if you will come into an apartment where five live - six bobtails, your sense of smell will not react in any way that here there live cats.
If for the majority of cats bright individualism, bobtail an animal more public is characteristic. It is possible to tell, that at its behaviour except for typically cat's there are also dog features.
if other cats become attached more likely to the house, than to people who there live for bobtail lovingness to the person is characteristic. It perfectly distinguishes the owner from other people, to tell more truly, it chooses to itself(himself) the owner among members of family, and having chosen, cannot manage it any more, misses, if that for some reason or other is absent and shows truly "puppies" delight at a meeting.
they possess and one more cleanly dog feature - like to carry "bring it". Start a ball rolled from a paper, bobtail there and then will rush behind it after and will bring it to you back. It is checked up not time and on different copies.
By the way, fidelity in a combination to the big force, dexterity and the developed intelligence allows to use bobtail even as " sentry dog". Certainly, it is impossible to compare bobtal on power and ferocity to the Caucasian sheep-dog, but intrusion of the extraneous person on the territory in absence of the owner, any male-bobtail perceives as the personal insult.
such copies bearing "service" in the Moscow apartment are familiar to us. In fact the unexpected jump of a seven-eight-kilogram cat quite can knock down the adult the man, and the cat's claws and canines a thing in itself serious. Yes, and canines of these cats too have difference from others cat's, canines of bobtail have hardly the crescent form and necessarily hang above a lower lip.
however, bobtail, living in a city apartment - an essence extremely peace and tender.
Kurilian bobtail the magnificent hunter. If the majority of cats always hunts alone bobtails are often united in the hunting flights for joint hunting and to that there are many certificates, that not only on Kuriles occurs so, and still it it is possible to observe that who became the happy owner of two, three, and even more cats of this breed. Thus they do not have clear split of roles as we shall tell, at wolves, but the certain mutual aid on hunting for them is characteristic. Especially it concerns fishings, in fact bobtails fine fishers!
It too characteristic feature bobtail - bent for to water. It is impossible to tell, certainly, that it adores to float or dive is not so, but water never leaves its indifferent. If on a way bobtail there will be a reservoir, a stream, a pool, capacity water, can be assured, it does not pass them and investigates most carefully. If something will draw its attention, it there and then will forget, that it a cat and will fearlessly get into water. And to be freshened under the crane in hot day is a sacred duty of everyone bobtail.
During centuries-old dwelling bobtail in severe conditions of a climate of Kuriles, the nature has awarded this animal with enviable intelligence, appeasable character and "inhuman" charm.
it is very clever cat. Anyway, it should not explain on hundred times one and too, it takes the hint of all. It is enough to it to show once, that is possible, and that it is impossible where to go to a toilet and where to grind claws that already with it any more there were no problems.
It it is simple to learn to understand commands though it is necessary to tell that it will carry out them depending on own mood, but that it understands many words from your lexicon, you are soon convinced.
What to tell?...
Kuril бобтейл is (in our opinion) a unique person of the cat's world. In it as though contrasts are collected, but they are connected very successfully. Wisdom and restraint, bravery and courage, accuracy and force borders on tenderness and sentimentality. You never and with anybody will not confuse bobtail as soon as will hear its iridescent thin voice.
Its private world is very rich. Not looking at the " wild roots ", Kurilian bobtail ideally approaches for family and for a life in a society owing to the open and benevolent nature.

Kurilian bobtails are not aggressive, but are not cowardly. If on one path there will be a meeting with the representative of the dog tribe, assure you, K.bobtail is not measured to let its pass, and especially to get away. But the compromise will always find. If it feels any danger - a sharp push powerful long back legs... And it already at height about two meters. Its dot jumps in the different parties it is similar to a hare, and gait of tiger will be envied with any top-model.
it the fine partner and with pleasure will divide house efforts with the owner. It is not persuasive, if you send home not in "spirit", К. botail not begins to stick with inquiries and requirements of immediate meal - it will wait. And still it will not miss an opportunity to participate in morning fuss with all family. Its scanty pompon-tail it is always mobile, this one of features of this breed why it still compare to a dog. Bobtail quite often wags the tail, showing the complacent mood. Sharply turns about the axis - it is dissatisfied, pulls - curiosity. Still comparison with dogs it has deserved, owing to his security qualities, and moreover unique fidelity to the owner to the-person.
p> Kurilian bobtail it is mobile, full of force and energy. It is inquisitive, and during too time an intelligent cat. It is freedom-loving, but it does not mean, that it constantly thinks how to slip away from the house. At all is not present. Simply, if you begin to concern to it as to softly-toy on a pillow, it will be disappointed.
