[1]Background
Developed from short-tailed cats long associated with Japan and imported to the United States in 1968, the breed is not a label for all Japanese cats.
[1]Appearance
Long legs, a triangular head and large upright ears accompany a short tail whose bends and fur can create a pom-pom appearance.
[1]Coat and comparisons
Calico and bicolour forms are familiar, but other colours occur. Calico is a coat description, not a breed name.
