After the spread of Buddhism in eastern states increased the number of temple cats. Migration path proved tortuous and intricate: Egypt - Iran - Turkey - India - Pakistan - China - India - Tibet - Viet Nam - Thailand - Japan - Korea. Then there was nowhere to go.

However, during the summer holidays a certain part of separate and independent Japanese cats prefer to escape by denying the freedom and comfort of his home.
Most likely, that is exactly what the Japanese Bobtail breed formed in the Kuriles. In connection with the struggle for existence in the harshest climatic conditions Pampered Japanese breed was significantly adjusted. And the descendants of which have survived in the wild, became the owners of the secondary signs of savagery, for example, the color of wild type - tabby.
Due to the fact that the main color of a Japanese cat (as a reminder of the white temple cat of her ancestors) is white, the color of the wild as a result of a blur of white undercoat, giving a variety of variations of blue and gray marble.
