The Kurilian Bobtail is a breed of Russia. This Bobtail has not undergone genetic modification caused or calculated. No one has tried to change, is the nature which created the race. He lives on the Kuril Islands, in extreme climatic conditions of temperature and humidity.

These islands are located at the East end of Russia, in the northern Pacific Ocean and extends to more than 1200 km from the Kamchatka Peninsula, on the border of North Japan. It's a chain of volcanoes – hence the name – Kuril. All islands there are 40 active volcanoes. On the one hand, the Islands are bathed by the sea of Okhotsk, on the other side by the Pacific Ocean.

These short-tailed cats have been known to be found on the Kuril and Sakhalin Islands for at least two hundred years., Although they were discovered only at the end of the 20th century.

In the Centre of Russia, the Kurilian Bobtail began to appear only in the middle of the last century. The military and geologists, who returned from long trips to the islands, they brought with them the special short-tailed cat. But not too taken into account, Since even did not exist any feline Federation in Russia at that time.

But, to date no one has studied the exact origins of this mutation.

Even now, It is not uncommon to see cats with low and irregular tail in the islands of Malaysia, Thailand and Burma. In some Southeast Asian countries, It is virtually impossible to find the animal without the tail malformations. In this way, it is possible to assume that all mutations associated with the change in tail structure have a common cause.
