About the Manx
The Manx is a breed of domestic cat originating from the Isle of Man, best known for its natural mutation that results in a varying degree of tail absence, from completely tailless (rumpy) to a full tail (longy). It has a solid, rounded, cobby body type, a double coat, and a distinctive hopping gait due to its longer hind legs.
