1. Origin
The American short-tailed cat originated in the 1860s (unintentionally bred). This variety is characterized by a short tail with thick hairs and medium length.
Around 1964, a couple surnamed Sanders were on vacation at an Indian resort in Arizona, and they spotted a wild-looking kitten with short hair and upturned tails.
They adopted the cat and named it YODEIE. The cat later mated with a Siamese cat named MICHI, and among the resulting cubs was a cream-tinged horizontal spot, which is the origin of the breed.
