Long-tailed cats and short-tailed cats each have their own characteristics, and there is no absolute good or bad.
Long-tailed cats' tails help them maintain balance, avoid injury, and are more sensitive to information about the world, while short-tailed cats' tails may affect their balance and perception abilities.

Furthermore, the genetic issues of long-tailed and bob-tailed cats differ. The length of a long-tailed cat's tail is determined by its own developmental pattern, while a bob-tailed cat's short tail may be due to a genetic defect, and such cats often suffer from a series of hereditary diseases.
Therefore, when choosing between a long-tailed cat and a short-tailed cat, one needs to consider both personal preferences and actual circumstances.
