Despite resembling a 4-6-month-old kitten in stature, adult Toybobs maintain a robust build with well-developed muscles, balancing their petite frame with normal cat weight. Their signature 3-7 cm kinked tail, while distinctively curled, poses no agility or health issues, confirmed by genetic studies. The breed features both shorthair (widely recognized by CFA) and semi-longhair variants, with the latter gaining popularity for its luxurious texture.
Toybobs are celebrated for their calm yet playful demeanor. They excel at climbing heights while equally enjoying lap snuggles, displaying a rare balance of independence and devotion. Notably, their "dog-like loyalty"—following owners, responding to names, and even learning tricks—has endeared them to families and seniors alike. In Hong Kong’s international cat shows, Toybobs often steal the spotlight with their human-like sitting posture.
Diet-wise, Toybobs thrive on high-quality commercial cat food without special requirements. Shorthair coats need only weekly brushing, while semi-longhair variants, though slightly more intensive, remain tangle-resistant and hypoallergenic. Genetically robust, Toybobs have no breed-specific health issues and boast a lifespan of 15 years on average.
Since gaining registration status with The International Cat Association (TICA) in 2017 and entering CFA’s Miscellaneous Class, the Toybob has seen rising demand worldwide. Breeders across continents are now dedicated to preserving its unique traits, with Asian markets embracing the Toybob’s "miniature charm" trend.
For those seeking a loyal, low-maintenance companion with a dash of whimsy, the Toybob’s tiny stature belies a heart full of love and personality.
