As cats were brought into Japan on each occasion of trades with China, there seemed to be some changes, but judging from the fact that there were also some trades with Southeast Asia including Siam (Kingdom of Thailand) during the Sengoku Period (Period of Warring States) (Japan), it is considered to have another relation with the cats of these areas.
その後も、中国と交易するたびにネコが日本を訪れたため、いくらかの変遷があったと思われるが、戦国時代(日本)にシャム（タイ王国）などの東南アジアとも交易したことから、これらのネコとも関係ができたと思われる。
