​​The Toybob cat is often referred to as one of the smallest of all cat breeds and is a small cat that should not grow any larger than the size of a 6-month-old kitten of a well-developed domestic cat. They have a compact body, well-developed musculature, a relatively deep wide chest, and a short tail that consists of several distorted vertebrae (visible length of 3-7 cm). Because its head and legs are in proportion to the body, it is considered a miniature cat and does not have the same dwarfism as the Munchkin cat. Regardless of their size, they are healthy animals with a rounded wedge-shaped head, low and round cheekbones, a short wide muzzle, and a slight curve to the bridge of the nose. They have a flat plane above the brows, a strong chin, and medium-sized ears set high up and straight. They have large, slightly upwards, slanted rounded eyes. When wide open, eyes can appear larger and rounder. The big-eyed expression is what gives the Toybob its sweet-faced look. There is both a Shorthair and Longhair variety, with Toybob Shorthair more common at this time as not all professional cat associations have yet approved the longhair variety.

玩具豆貓通常被稱為所有貓品種中最小的一種，是一種小型貓科動物，其體型不應超過發育良好的家貓 6 個月大的小貓的大小。它們身體緊湊，肌肉發達，胸部相對較深寬闊，尾巴很短，由幾塊扭曲的椎骨組成（可見長度為3-7厘米）。因為它的頭和腿與身體成比例，所以被認為是一種小型貓，並不像曼基貓那樣有侏儒症。無論大小如何，它們都是健康的動物，有圓楔形的頭部、低而圓的顴骨、短而寬的口吻、鼻樑有輕微的曲線。他們的眉毛上方平坦，下巴強壯，耳朵中等大小，位置高且筆直。他們有一雙大的、略微向上的、傾斜的圓形眼睛。當睜大時，眼睛會顯得更大更圓。大眼睛的表情賦予了 玩具豆貓 甜美的外觀。有短毛貓和長毛貓兩種品種，其中 玩具豆貓 短毛貓目前更為常見，因為並非所有專業貓協會都已批准長毛貓品種。

The Toybob cat was first documented in the Rostov Region of Russia in 1983 when Elena Krasnichenko adopted a stray seal-point Domestic cat. By her accounts, this cat looked very much like a Traditional Siamese cat, except for its shortened tail. Krasnichenko later bred this male to another stray brought home by her mother, a bobbed tailed seal-point female with an unusual curled kinked tail, and in 1988, the breeding of these two cats produced an unusually small bobbed tail kitten she named "Kutciy," which became the progenitor of the breed, first called Skif-Thai-Don. (also known in the longer form, Skif-Thai-Toy-Don). To this day, Krasnichenko breeds her Toybobs only in the seal-point color and pattern.

玩具豆貓於 1983 年在俄羅斯羅斯托夫地區首次被記錄，當時 Elena Krasnichenko 收養了一隻流浪的海豹點家貓。據她描述，這隻貓看起來很像傳統的暹羅貓，除了尾巴較短。克拉斯尼琴科後來將這隻雄性貓與她母親帶回家的另一隻流浪貓交配，那是一隻短尾海豹點雌性，有著不尋常的捲曲扭結尾巴。 （也稱為較長形式，Skif-Thai-Toy-Don）。直到今天，克拉斯尼琴科只培育出海豹點顏色和圖案的玩具豆貓。

By the late 1990s, the Toybob were nearly extinct when a breeder from the Urals of Russia, Alexis Abramchuk of Si-Savat cattery (inactive), begun to broaden the breed's limited gene pool by adding Domestic cats. When Si-Savat discontinued their breeding program, Natalya Fedyaeva of Little Angel cattery (inactive), acquired from Abramchuk, a small male "Gavrila Fadeevich." Elsewhere, she acquired two Skif-Thai-Don females, one being Gavrila's sister and began her expansion of the breed. Fedyaeva had observed that cats of very similar phenotypes to the Toybob were spotted living locally around barns and streets in her region. Some of these native cats were also of small size with kinked tails or kinked bobbed tails but seen in colors and patterns other than seal-point. Fedyaeva, along with other local breeders, began to work on developing the Toybob cat's initially small genetic pool by adding those found domestic cats as well as other similarly phenotyped breeds. Fedyaeva began to refer to her cats as "Scyth-Toy-Bob" to differentiate them from the Skif-Thai-Don. In the 2000s, due to significant differences in breeding plans, the Toybob breed split into the two distinct breed groups from two different regions; the Rostov bred Skif-Thai-Don and the Ural bred Scyth-Toy-Bob. With each breed group promoting a slightly different standard within the cat clubs and shows. A separation that lasts until 2017 when both groups came to the consensus it would be best for the two groups to get together again and drop any form of prefixes from the breed's name, making it easier to unify the breed's standards across all associations worldwide.

到了 20 世紀 90 年代末，來自俄羅斯烏拉爾地區的 Si-Savat 貓舍（不活躍）的飼養員 Alexis Abramchuk 開始透過添加家貓來擴大該品種有限的基因庫，導致 玩具豆貓 幾乎滅絕。當 Si-Savat 停止繁殖計劃時，小天使貓舍（不活躍）的 Natalya Fedyaeva 從 Abramchuk 那裡收購了一隻小型雄性「Gavrila Fadeevich」。在其他地方，她收購了兩隻雌性 Skif-Thai-Don，其中一隻是加夫里拉的妹妹，並開始擴大品種。 Fedyaeva 觀察到，她所在地區的穀倉和街道周圍發現了與 玩具豆貓 表現型非常相似的貓。其中一些本土貓的體型也很小，有扭結的尾巴或扭結的短尾，但顏色和圖案不同於海豹點。 Fedyaeva 與其他當地飼養員一起，開始致力於開發 玩具豆貓最初的小型基因庫，添加發現的家貓以及其他類似表型品種。 Fedyaeva 開始將她的貓稱為“Scyth-Toy-Bob”，以區別於 Skif-Thai-Don。 2000年代，由於育種計劃的顯著差異，玩具豆貓分裂成來自兩個不同地區的兩個不同的品種組；羅斯托夫繁殖了Skif-Thai-Don，烏拉爾繁殖了Scyth-Toy-Bob。每個品種組在貓俱樂部和表演中推廣的標準略有不同。這種分離一直持續到 2017 年，當時兩個群體達成共識，最好再次聚在一起，並從品種名稱中刪除任何形式的前綴，以便更容易統一全球所有協會的品種標準。
