The Japanese Bobtail is an ancient breed native to Japan, distinguished by its unique 'bobbed' tail that resembles a pom-pom or rabbit tail. These cats are highly social, intelligent, and vocal, often communicating with soft chirps and meows. They are active, playful, and form strong bonds with their families.
