According to The International Cat Association (TICA), the Kurilian Bobtail is a strong cat with a wild appearance. But despite their looks, these adorable cats are friendly and kind-hearted. "The character of the Kurilian Bobtail is independent, highly intelligent, clever, inquisitive, sociable, playful, trainable, absent of aggression and very gentle," TICA wrote on its website. "They are devoted to their humans and when allowed, are either on the lap of or sleeping in bed with their owners."
"They adapt well to other cats, children, dogs, and other household pets. They are excellent jumpers and are inclined to survey their domain from the highest point available to them. Highly intelligent, they need to be shown or told only once what they are allowed or what is forbidden, but it is up to the individual cat to carry out their own will according to their mood."
Alessandra told Bored Panda that her cute cat is a true Kurilian Bobtail. "He's my real-life partner, my shadow, and has exceptional character," she told Bored Panda. "Although he's quite stubborn, I still believe he's the best silly cat in the world. Mostly because Grisu is obedient like a dog, which is rare for a cat."
Their unbreakable bond really does show in the photos documenting their daily life as well. Grisu looks very comfortable around his owner, allowing Alessandra to capture candid pics that all cat-lovers should enjoy!
