Short description

Characteristic for the Mekong Bobtail is her short, mostly folded tail. She is very attached and loyal, as well as cuddly. She does not like to be alone, therefore you should keep a second cat as a companion. She has to have sufficient mental activites, otherwise she can develop unwanted behavior. They can have difficulties climbing, because their missing tail causes balance problems.
