Legend has it that a young couple discovered a kitten named Yodie with a  peculiar short tail on an American Indian reservation in Arizona.

They possess shorter-than-usual tails, wide-set eyes, muscular muzzles, and plush coats in various colors

Enigmatic Beauty

Though the length and shape of the tail can vary, it is never more than  half the length of an ordinary cat’s tail. It may be a straight or  slightly curved tail but always has a distinctive “bob” look.
