Japanese Bobtail Cat Breed
Japanese Bobtail Cat
The Japanese Bobtail is a medium sized cat with short hair, long clean lines and bone structure. The Japanese Bobtail Longhair is the longhaired version of this breed.
The head is an almost equilateral triangle, with gentle curves. Although the head appears long and finely chiseled, it forms an almost perfect equilateral triangle with gentle curving lines, high cheek bones and a noticeable whisker break.
The eyes are large, oval, wide and alert. They are set into the skull at a rather pronounced slant when viewed in profile. The eyeball shows a shallow curvature. The ears are large, upright and expressive. They are wide set, but at right angles to the head, rather than flaring, and give the impression of being tilted forward in repose.
The Japenese Bobtail has long, clean lines, straight and slender. When the cat is standing relaxed, the torso is nearly level, rather than rising toward the rear. The legs are in keeping with the body, long, slender and high, but not dainty or fragile in appearance. The hind legs are noticeably longer than the forelegs, but deeply angulated. When standing, the cat's forelegs and shoulders form two continuous straight lines, close together.
The tail shape is straight or curved or angled, and appears as pompom. The tail is usually carried upright when the cat is relaxed. The hair on the tail is somewhat longer and thicker than the body hair, growing outward in all directions to create a pom-pom or bunny-tail effect. The pom-pom appears to commence at the base of the spine, and camouflages the underlying bone structure of the tail. The tail bone is usually strong and rigid rather than jointed (except at the base), and may be either straight or composed of one or more curves and angles. The furthest extension of the tail bone from the body should be approximately 2 to 3 inches, even though it might be 4 or 5 inches long if it were straightened to its full length.
The coat is medium in length, soft and silky but without noticeable undercoat. It is relatively non-shedding. May have a ruff. The coat will lie fairly flat and flow into "pantaloons" on the hind legs.
The Japanese Bobtail should present the overall impression of a medium-sized cat with long clean lines and bone structure. It is well-muscled, but straight and slender rather than massive in build. The unique set of its eyes, combined with high cheekbones and a long parallel nose, lends a distinctive Japanese cast to the face, especially in profile, which is quite different from the other Oriental breeds
