[edit] Using the "Citations Needed" tag
I'm no admin, but I'd like to put this out for anyone using the "citations needed" tag: If there are a lot of unsourced claims in the section, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't put the tag after every bloody sentence. Instead, use the "This article does not cite any references or sources," and stick it at the beginning of the unsourced section (note: do not put it at the top of the article unless none of the information in the article is sourced).
Here's the tag:

[edit] Picture
It would be nice to have a picture of the cat that showed the tail, considering that is its most noteable feature.
- My thoughts exactly. --NEMT 16:33, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] That is not a squid
I was linked here from Sepiolidae, is there a Japanese Bobtail squid, or is it just a cat. --ZZ 08:11, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- There is a Japanese Bobtail Squid, but I don't think there's an article for it. [[User:Lachatdelarue|Lachatdelarue (talk)]] 13:58, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Mi-ke
As a quick note, I updated the note about "Mi-ke" coloring to reflect the fact that not all mi-ke Japanese bobtails are calico-patterned; by way of example, my own cat is a show-quality mi-ke with a van pattern.
Speaking of which, I'll see if I can't find a good picture to put on the page, which might be useful for illustrating the range of appearances this breed may have. jonny-mt 02:09, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Breed Standard
That whole section seems a little... weird. It sounds more like a description of one of these cats, not the whole group. Also... "Tail: The tail must be clearly visible and is made up of one or more curves." This confused me. Don't tails bend anyway? And, why MUST it be clearly visible? I'd say remove the whole section, but y'know, don't wanna do it unless people agree with me. -- Scar † Contributions † 21:29, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
