The Japanese Bobtail is a slender, medium- sized cat with clean lines.
High cheekbones and a long nose lend a distinctive Japanese cast
to the cat's face, especially in profile. The
Japanese Bobtail is best known for its pompon tail, which resembles that
of a rabbit. The breed comes in solid black, red and white, as well as
black and white, red and white, tortoiseshell, and a
combination of black, red and white known as
mi-ke.
