I took in a stray kitten, a bobtail. Its an incredibly intelligent cat. It will follow you around constantly and you will find yourself tripping over it as you walk. Its also quite a talker and meows all the time. She loves to lay in my lap and sleep on her stomach, front legs stretched out hanging over one side her back legs over the other side. On the downside she is fairly stubborn and clawed and chewed up rugs and anything else she liked. She would use her charm to try to get her way. If anyone has a Bobtail and can give some advice please e-mail me at Rival96@hotmail.com Thanks
I took in a Japanese bobtail kitten 4 years ago and my life hasn’t been the same. He is incredibly intelligent, sweet and bratty all at the same time. He learned to play fetch early on and play boxes. He also bats a ball back to you. His best friend is our 130 lb Siberian Husky that he chases around the house. He has no fear and is an amazing hunter. He is probably the most intelligent cat that I have ever had. My husband swears that he understands everything that I say to him. On the down side, he has a fascination with liquids and if any glass with liquid is left on a counter – he will find it and tip it over. He also is trained to jump up on my shoulder at command and he then wraps himself around my neck and loves for me to walk around the house with him like that. He took my heart 4 years ago when I first met him. The entire family adores him.
