short tail cat

I had never seen a cat with a tail like this before, until going to Indonesia. That’s where I saw this black Indonesian short tail cat.

Seems like most cats I’ve seen in Indonesia
were typically mottled

But this cat was all black, and her tail is short, stubby and the tip is curled.

Such a pretty, sweet cat.

She looked quite healthy, which is not always the case with cats living in Indonesia.  She was very friendly and affectionate; and like many cats, she loved to be petted behind her ears.
