    Is Japanese an actual breed or does that just mean the cat was born in Japan?

      The latter. The way I understand it, there are every few cat breeds. Just lots of coat patterns.

          Have you heard of/seen highlanders? They’re one of my personal favorites. (Outside of whatever one is closest to me)

          Like I said, very few, especially when compared to dogs.

            Compared to dogs, sure, it’s barely a fourth that number. There are not “very few cat breeds and just a lot t of coat patterns”, though, I wouldn’t say that anyway.

      Looking at the rice cooler it looks like it has kanji on it so I’m going to assume it was in Japan
