| Japanese Bobtails come in a variety of colors, but the most popular colors are Mi-Ke and Black & White. | They usually have kittens three or four at a time. The babies are very large and can walk and become active before most other cats. |
|
|
These cats have very soft voices and can chirp, hum, and meow. Some people say that it sounds like they sing. They almost always "talk back" when they're being talked to. |
|
Japanese Bobtails are medium sized cats with triangular heads, long noses, slanted eyes, and thin legs. Females weigh about six pounds and males weigh about eight pounds. |

|
The cats can have short, silky fur, or long, thick fur. Their tail is very unique. No two tails are alike, but they can't exceed three inches. |
