Origin
Originating in the United States, the American Bobtail is said to be the result of an accidental combination of the domestic shorthaired and a Bobcat.  Tracked back to a random-bred bobtailed tabby kitten that was adopted from an American Indian reservation in Arizona by John and Brenda Sanders of Iowa.  The first attempts to crate this breed lead to inbred and unhealthy cats.  Reaha Evans later was able to successfully reintroduce more colors and patterns, and improved the breeds health.  The American Bobtail was recognized by the TICA in 1989.
