The Japanese Bobtail is a very old breed in Japan.

They are intelligent and charming; they love to play and make excellent companions.
One of the noticeable characteristics of the Japanese Bobtails is their clannish nature: they have very strong family ties.

Mother cats will continue to take care of their kittens long after they reach adulthood.

Family groups remain as a unit, playing and sleeping together.

They are a very quiet breed, and will usually speak only when spoken to.
