Are Japanese Bobtail cats indoor cats?

Yes. Japanese Bobtail cats can be happy indoor cats if provided with consistent social companionship, exercise, and varied, engaging enrichment. These cats are energetic and curious, so providing them with plenty of interactive toys, scratching posts, and climbing structures is important to keep them stimulated and happy indoors. 

However, many Japanese Bobtails enjoy exploring the outdoors and may have a strong natural curiosity. To satisfy their desire for outdoor experiences while keeping them safe, you can offer secure ways for them to enjoy the outside world. Consider supervised outdoor play sessions, leash training, or providing a secure outdoor enclosure. These options allow them to explore and enjoy the fresh air without the risks associated with free-roaming.
