Transylvanian Rattail

The Transylvanian rattail is a breed of domestic cat that, as its name suggests, originated from Transylvania around 1700s. The Transylvanian rattail is gray to dark gray in color, depending on an individual, and is named for tail that resembles a rat's tail in general appearance, but that can mislead people into thinking these tails are from rats rather than Transylvanian rattail cats. Just like black-colored short-hair cats, Transylvanian rattails were once persecuted due to Transylvanian rattails being once associated with death and plagues though superstition, but that thankfully ended due animal rights activists in 1980s who discovered that Transylvanian rattails have nothing to do with common humans dying from natural causes or plagues. Due to historical superstitions, Transylvanian rattails are trending in Halloween seasons as decorations and as both monsters and jumpscare misdirections in movies. The Transylvanian rattails are becoming popular pets among cat owners as they are loyal and show compassion to their pet owners.
