When I first came to Japan. I noticed the cats with short tails, and I asked someone about this. They told me that Japanese cut off the tails so that the cats couldn't jump on tables. In other words, having a short tail prevents cats from jumping up on things. I have now have a cat with a short tail. (I didn't cut it offーIt was born that way!) And my cat can jump very high, so I know that what I believed for many years was not true. :D
