11 Affordable Cat Breeds

American Bobtail

For somewhere between $400-800 you can purchase an uncommon breed of cat that came about in the late 1960s. The American Bobtail is known for its “bobbed” tail which is only about a third of the size of a standard cat’s tail. This comes from a genetic mutation that only affects the tail and is not detrimental to the cat’s health. This breed is known for being very extroverted as they are playful, social, and decently energetic in nature. They are also known for their intelligence and clever mindset, often compared to a magician’s escape act. They aren’t very vocal and generally demand your attention by just sitting in your lap and meowing.
