About the Japanese Bobtail

The Japanese Bobtail is an ancient natural breed from Japan, easily recognized by its short, pom-pom-like tail resulting from a recessive genetic mutation. It is a slender, athletic cat with a long, triangular head, high cheekbones, and large, expressive eyes. Known for its friendly, active, and vocal nature, it is a cultural symbol of good luck in its homeland.
