Images of Japanese Bobtail Cat

Personality
Japanese bobtail is very affectionate and great for a family setting. Due to their affectionate nature they make very good pets for children. They like to communicate with you with soft chirpy noises. This breed is highly attracted to water so you may find them running to get to running water or playing in their water dishes. They are very smart and enjoy being puzzled with rotating toys or chasing lasers or lures on fishing poles. They are very headstrong and don't like to change their minds on what they like or dislike. They are very busy and need a companion, preferable humans or other bobtails, however a dog will work to keep them entertained as well. This breed is known for their playful behaviour, they are always full of energy and mischief. This can be a down fall if someone is looking for a more relaxed cat that doesn't portray kitten like behaviours.

Grooming
Since it is a short haired cat, generally this breed has a minimal to medium amount of shedding. The Japanese Bobtail has a very easy to groom coat with twice-weekly brushing or combing. This will need to be increased slightly in the spring and fall due to shedding seasons. The only other grooming the breed needs is regular nail trimming and ear cleaning if they look dirty. You should also brush your cats teeth frequently with a vet-approved pet tooth paste. Starting these grooming habits as a kitten will help ensure your cat will be accepting of these later on.
