Pat C Shortail is a very good looking boy with a very short tail-probably he was born that way or it happened shortly after he was born. His short tail makes him very distinctive looking and certainly doesn't affect him. He is calm, a leaner, not pushy, relaxed and easy-going. He is a "mooshie" boy who we just love. Shortail walks nicely on leash right beside the person holding the leash. Shortail is a well balanced boy. He is 3 years old and cat tolerant with supervision.
