✨ Fait Amusant
The Japanese Bobtail's lucky cat — the Maneki-neko figurine seen in Asian shops and restaurants — is modeled after this breed with its distinctive tail.
A naturally occurring Japanese breed with a distinctive short, pom-pom tail caused by a recessive gene (different from Manx). Elegant, medium-sized with high cheekbones, large ears, and a lean body. Highly intelligent and vocal.
