Toybob

Cat breed · Russia

Overview

The Toybob is a breed cat distinct for its small size and short kinked tail that originated in Russia. It is often considered to be "the smallest breed of cat" due to a spontaneous mutation.

It bears the Siamese colourpoint mutation gene.

Every pet is one of a kind. This guide covers what's typical for the breed, but your own dog or cat will have their own personality, quirks and needs — think of it as a friendly starting point, not the final word. Whenever you'd like advice tailored to your companion, the team at OC Pets is always happy to help.
