CLEAR ALLIndisputably, Toybobs are irresistible and adorable. With their high playfulness and small size, these kitties capture our hearts, remaining kitten-like all their lives. This cat breed originated in Russia in 1983 and is recognized as among the smallest of cat breeds. However, they are not a mini version of a larger cat breed but a naturally diminutive cat.
As its name implies, the Toybob is a small-sized cat with a kinked bobbed tail. Luckily, the bobbed tail does not affect the cat’s agility or health. Toybob cats can be found in all colours and have either a short or semi-long coat.
Because of their personality and small size, Toybobs have become one of the most popular breeds. They are charming, playful, perky, and very loving. They are not very vocal too. Toybobs have an appreciation for comfort as they enjoy snuggling into soft pillows, sofas and their human companion’s lap. While they are docile, this cat breed enjoys perching high atop furniture as they are agile climbers and graceful on their feet.
Toybobs are frequently seen following their human companion around the house. They are very intelligent and generous in giving back the love and attention you give them. This gentle cat breed can make an excellent family pet because of their playful and very loving nature. They love attention and interaction, which makes them a wonderful pet for the elderly as well. And because they are social, they can live in peace with other pets in the same household.

Toybobs are one of the most miniature domestic cat breeds that reach a weight of 3 to 5 pounds when fully grown. Thus, most people mistake adult Toybobs for kittens, as their size equals a 3 to 6 month old standard-size kitten.
Their compact bodies are muscular, and their bobtails are typically between 1 to 3 inches long. In addition, each Toybob’s tail looks slightly different, with the possibility of multiple kinks and curves, creating a spiral look. The Toybob’s head is proportionate to their body, as are their medium-size ears. Their eyes are large and expressive and the colour will correspond to their coat.
Toybobs are not a miniature version of another breed, nor do they have any connection to other bobtail cats, like the Manx or American Bobtail. However, like these breeds, their kinked tail does not affect their health or agility. Moreover, they typically live long and healthy lives of up to 15 years due to the harsh environment and climate the breed developed in Russia.
Toybobs can be either shorthaired or longhaired and come in various colours and patterns. Even so, the Siamese style seal colour-pointing is most common, and in this case, the Toybob will have piercing blue eyes.
Both short and longhaired Toybobs do not have high grooming needs or shedding rates. Those with short coats need only a quick brush once or twice a week. Moreover, the longhaired Toybobs silky coat does not matt or tangle much, so brushing once or twice a week is also sufficient.
Toybobs are affectionate and loving, with a gentle and sometimes docile nature. They devote themselves to their owners and protect their families fiercely, taking the role of their owner’s bodyguard. Toybobs certainly do not see their size as a drawback and think of themselves as strong and scary.
Their protective spirit means they will run to the door when someone knocks, checking they are not a threat. They’ll also eagerly wait for you to return home so they can rest knowing their favourite human is safe. What’s more, as Toybobs love to be high up, they will often seek out high places to perch on, observe the goings-on, and keep an eye on you!
Toybobs also have a playful temperament, so if they’re not cuddling or protecting you, they’ll be climbing or chasing play prey. It’s not just their looks that remain kitten-like, as Toybobs tend to retain their high energy levels until old age. They are light on their feet and can move fast, but they tire quickly. Thus, if your Toybob seems like it has tonnes of energy, play with them for five minutes, then they will pass out by your feet for hours.
It’s easy to see when a Toybob is feeling content as they will be quiet and relaxed in the company of their owners. They are easy to please and only need their humans around often to thrive.
A Toybob is a very owner-orientated cat and likes to be close to its owner at all times. They do not like being left alone for too long, so they will be happiest in an environment where someone is often around. That being said, because they get along with everyone, including other animals, if they have a furry friend or two in the home, their loneliness and human neediness will significantly reduce.
Toybobs are very gentle around well-behaved children who treat them well. Therefore, they can fit well into any home, from young families to elderly couples.

One of the reasons I was hesitant to order a puppy from The Pedigree Paws is because I live in Spain. However they connected me with a very good FCI breeder in Barcelona.

It's been a few months since we decided to find a Chihuahua puppy to join our family, however we had issues finding a good breeder.
We contacted The Pedigree Paws and they connected us with a very unique breeder in Greece.
