Japanese Bobtail Cat

The Japanese Bobtail is said to be a sacred cat of Japan. Why? In the 1600s a royal decree was issued to release the cats ad set them free. This mass release was an effort to kill the rodents and save the prized silk work and it worked. The silk industry was saved and from then on the cat was thought to be sacred and in some circles even worshiped. To Japanese Bobtail is a small, playful cat that loves to play fetch and enjoys “talking” and even “singing”. His name comes from the small bobbed tail that resembles the cotton tail of a small rabbit. The tail is often curly. Unlike the American Bobtail, the Japanese Bobtail is never completely without a tail. The Japanese Bobtail has all of its tail vertebrates, they’re just incredibly small.
