These include seal point, blue point, tabby point, tortie point, chocolate point, lilac point, and red cream.īecause the fur on the Mekong Bobtail is short and there’s hardly any undercoat, grooming is really simple. These cats come in all of the pointed colors without white. The Mekong Bobtail is a truly beautiful breed. These eyes are also almond shaped, so they have a slight slant. The eyes of the Mekong Bobtail are also particularly beautiful, as they are blue like those of a Siamese. The shape of the head features a strong chin, and the ears are broad at their base and medium in size. The coat, which is glossy and short, has hardly any undercoat, so it lies close to the skin. The length can vary but, generally, the bobtail has a minimum of three vertebrae, and it shouldn’t be longer than a quarter of the cat’s total body length. Every tail is different, however, because there are various combinations of curves and kinks that are possible. The tail is the most unique feature of this breed, as it is very short. The legs are also slender, with the hind legs being a bit longer than the front legs. The Mekong Bobtail has a medium sized body that has good muscle tone and is elegant and lean.

Mekong Bobtail cats are friendly, social creatures who like to show their affectionate to their owners. Until the 1980s, this breed wasn’t very well known, but today, it is more popular than ever. Other bobtailed kitties were also brought to Russia from Southeast Asia, and they are the ancestors of the Mekong Bobtail. They were given to him by the King of Siam, Chulalongkorn, and many of these cats had distinct kinked tails that were shorter than that of other felines. It was not until the latter part of the 19th century that roughly 200 cats, considered “royal,” were gifted to Nicholas II, who was the Tsar of Russia. This breed is naturally found throughout many parts of Southeast Asia, Iraq, Iran, Mongolia, Burma, Laos, China, and Vietnam. In fact, there are legends from ancient Siam that contained stories about these lovely cats, which have the Siamese point colors combined with the bobbed tail of a Manx.

The Mekong Bobtail is a feline breed that originated in Thailand.
