Classification Of The Cat: Body Types, Part I
The Cobby Cat
There are two basic body types. The first one is described as a cobby, and is exemplified by the British Shorthair and the Persian. The cobby type features a compact, sturdy body with a deep chest, broad shoulders and hind quarters, short legs and tail and a short, round head. There is however a considerable scope for variations within this broad definition. An example of this being, a round-headed cat may have a short or medium nose, small or medium ears, eyes set closer to or farther from the nose, and so on. Most moggies or alley cats are cobby cats.
