Japanese Bobtail Cats

Ancient Street Cat is a Legend

The Japanese bobtail cat holds a special place in the hearts of Japanese. Ceramic statues of the breed—considered a good luck charm—may often greet visitors in storefronts and homes, one paw raised to beckon or invite guests inside.

The gesture is appropriate for the short-tailed cat, which thrives on companionship and enjoys entertaining friends and family.

As with any pet, be sure to regularly consult a veterinarian for routine care and medical advice for your four-legged friend.
