To determine mutant allele frequencies, surveys of phenotypes of domestic cats were conducted in Kunashir Island and for comparison in Kholmsk City (Sakhalin Island). The genetic profiles were compared to those from other Far Eastern populations. The high proportion of Bobtails (65.2 %) in the Kunashir population distinguishes it from the rest of the Russian Federation. The population of island is more similar to other littoral populations of Far East of Russia than to such of Hokkaido Island (Japan). It is shown that initially in the formation of the genetic structure of the Kunashir Island population, the founder effect played an important role, and then the bottleneck effect.
