Japanese Bobtail Rue: nub tail, belly-rub queen, only drinks bottled water & eats pink can food. Sassy, spoiled, perfect.

What is America's Favorite Pet?
Learn MoreRue is obsessed with crinkle toys, wand feathers, and anything that skitters across the floor so she can pounce like a tiny tiger. Her favorite treat is her pink-can wet food, served with bottled water only… plus the occasional live mouse she proudly presents like a trophy.
Rue was born with a tiny nub tail and instead of swishing she wiggles her whole body when she’s happy. She’s also one of the rare cats who loves belly rubs and will flop dramatically for them while still giving full-on diva attitude.
Rue represents everything we love about pets — resilience, personality, and pure joy. From her nub-tail wiggle to her spoiled-princess standards, she makes everyone smile. She’s proof that being different is beautiful, and that love, sass, and cuddles can come in the smallest, quirkiest packages. 🐾
