Kucing American Bobtail LH (Longhair) adalah Kucing American Bobtail versi Longhair dan merupakan salah satu ras kucing yang berkembang melalui seleksi alamiah. Meskipun kucing hutan bobtail (ekor pendek) telah ada di Amerika Serikat sejak dulu, namun program pengembang-biakan baru mulai berkembang sekitar akhir tahun 1960-an. Ciri utama kucing American Bobtail Longhair ini adalah ekor yang tebal dan pendek, sekitar 1/3 panjang normal ekor kucing. Seperti juga pada kucing Manx, bentuk ekor yang pendek tersebut merupakan hasil mutasi genetik. Kucing American Bobtail Longhair berukuran medium-besar dengan bentuk badan kekar, mirip kucing liar bobcat yang terdapat di hutan-hutan Amerika Serikat. Seperti juga kucing Norwegian Forest cat, kucing American Bobtail Longhair termasuk kucing yang puber pada umur 2-3 tahun. Badannya cukup panjang, padat berisi, dan semi cobby. Pertulangannya kokoh dan besar dengan dada lebar dan padat. Kaki belakangnya lebih panjang dan lebih besar dari kaki depan. Kucing jantan bisa mencapai berat 7.5 Kg. Kepala berbentuk seperti segitiga lebar dengan rahang lebar dan kuat. Hidung lebar dengan daerah sedikit cekung antara kening dan hidung. Telinga berukuran sedang, lebar di bagian dasar dan terdapat rambut yang lebih panjang diujungnya. Mata berbentuk seperti almond dengan warna mata bervariasi sesuai dengan warna bulu. Kucing American Bobtail Longhair termasuk kucing yang aktif dan sangat suka bermain. Selain mudah bersahabat dengan manusia, juga termasuk kucing yang cerdas dan ahli melepaskan diri dari kandang atau ruangan tertutup. Mereka sangat mudah beradaptasi dengan lingkungan sekitar, tidak peduli lingkungannya tenang atau berisik. Salah satu ciri khas ras ini adalah sifatnya yang mirip dengan anjing. Kucing American Bobtail Longhair sangat senang berada di sekitar pemilik dan mencari perhatian pemiliknya. Kucing ini dapat dibiasakan diajak jalan-jalan menggunakan rantai kecil/tali. Setelah terbiasa mereka justru minta diajak jalan-jalan. Sejarah kucing American Bobtail Longhair berawal dari sebuah keluarga pasangan muda bernama Sanders yang menemukan seekor anak kucing bobtail jantan berwarna brown tabby, di kawasan cagar budaya Indian yang terdapat di bagian selatan Arizona. Anak kucing tersebut berasal dari kucing bobcat liar yang kawin dengan kucing lokal. Pasangan muda tersebut mengawinkan kucing jantan tersebut dengan kucing betina berekor normal. Kemudian lahirlah anak-anak kucing dengan ekor pendek (bobtail). Dari anak-anak kucing tersebut ras American Bobtail terbentuk. Kucing American Bobtail Longhair dan Kucing Japanese Bobtail sama sekali tidak berhubungan. Meskipun nama dan bentuk kucingnya mirip, kucing-kucing yang dilibatkan dalam program breeding kedua ras tersebut tidak berhubungan sedikit pun. Breed Standard (SOP = Standard Of Points) Sebagian asosiasi/federasi/organisasi internasional memiliki standard (breed standard atau SOP = Standard Of Points) kucing ini. Di CFA terdaftar dengan nama American Bobtail, sedangkan di TICA, LOOF dan ACFA terdaftar dengan dua nama berdasarkan panjang bulunya, yaitu dengan nama American Bobtail LH (Longhair) dan American Bobtail SH (Shorthair).

Outside corner angled slightly upward towards the ears. Medium-wide apart. Distinctive brow above the eye creates a top line to the eye and produces the breed’s natural hunting gaze.

The tail is flexible and expressive and may be straight, slightly curved or slightly kinked or have bumps along the length of the tail. Tail set in line with the top line of the hip.

COAT: Shorthair Division: length-medium, semi-dense; texturenon- matting, resilient with slight loft; density-double coat, hard topcoat with a soft, downy undercoat; miscellaneous-seasonal variations of coat should be recognized.
