The Mekong Bobtail has an ancient history linked to Southeast Asia. It is believed that these cats were companions to Thai princesses and guarded temples. The short tail is a result of a natural mutation that became established in the breed. In the late 20th century, Mekong Bobtails were brought to Russia, where targeted breeding began. The breed was officially recognized in 2004.
