ALL ABOUT TAFFY 3

Introduction

Have you ever thought about what breed of cat is the best as a housecat? There are many

popular breeds that may come to mind: Siamese, Tortoise Shell, Scottish Fold, and Domestic

Longhair to name a few. However, have you ever heard of the Japanese Bobtail? Let me tell you

about my cat, Taffy, who is a Japanese Bobtail. Japanese Bobtail cats are characterized by their

shortened tail. According to the Cat Fancier’s Association Japanese Bobtails have tails that are 3

inches or shorter in length, are great with kids, adapt to new pets well, and are high energy

(2019). All of these are true about Taffy.

I have had Taffy for three and a half years. She was a rescue cat who was found under a

portable at my Mom’s school. My Mom knew I was looking to get a cat and that I had a soft spot

for calico cats in particular. Taffy fit the bill. I was immediately in love with this little Japanese

Bobtail Calico. She moved from Louisiana to California with us and is loving her life. While I

was pregnant, she loved laying on or near my belly.
