The Japanese Bobtail is a bit of a rare breed. During the 1900s, this variety, which is native to Japan, began making its way to the U.S., but its popularity didn’t take off. It is now considered uncommon, so finding one may take a little sleuthing and a lot of money.

The stubby tails are no longer than three inches, and they are often covered in fur tufts, just like that of a bunny. The Japanese Bobtail is considered a symbol of luck in Japan.
