Cats
inbreeding.
In 2006, TICA proposed to clamp down on certain breeding trends including new bobtailed
breeds created by crossing existing breeds together. Their Genetics Committee report
stated: "The Committee proposes that TICA does not accept any proposed breeds for
Registration Only status that do not exhibit novel mutations. The current mutations would be
reserved for currently recognized breeds exclusively. This would end the seemingly endless
applications for "munchkinized" new breeds, and then deter the inevitable introduction of
"rexed", "Bob-tailed" and Poly-ed" everything else."
A bobtail breed in development is the Tennessee Bobtail. A description of its origins and type
is provided by Patty Shane. Scattered throughout the Southern USA are a variety of bobtailed
cats. The more common type is the Manx-type with tails ranging from rumpy to full and
bodies ranging from the cobbier high-rumped Manx-type to a more svelte build as a result of
random breeding
