The bobtail is a small oriental cat, found naturally in Japan and South East Asia. The breed has been known in Japan for centuries, and there are many legends and myths, as well as pieces of ancient art, featuring it. The maneki-neko[?], or 'beckoning cat' is a bobtail.
Japanese bobtails may be almost any colour, but bright tri-colours (torties), or bi-colours with white and ginger, are considered especially favoured by the Japanese.
