Is it really a cat if it doesn’t have a tail? It is if it’s a Manx. There are lots of cats with short tails or no tails, but the Manx (and his sister breed the longhaired Cymric) is the only one specifically bred to be tail-free. Sometimes jokingly said to be the offspring of a cat and a rabbit (however cute the idea, a “cabbit” is biologically impossible), the tailless Manx is the result of a genetic mutation that was then intensified by the cats’ remote location on the Isle of Man, off the coast of Britain.
The cats are thought to date to 1750 or later, but whether a tailless cat was born there or arrived on a ship and then spread its genes throughout the island cat population is unknown. The island became known for tailless cats, and that is how the breed got its name of Manx. The Manx is recognized by the Cat Fanciers Association, The International Cat Association, and other cat registries.
my cat is s manx he has a tiny tale like a tiny rabbit

I wanted to watch this video, but I couln't get through the first minute becaue of the terrible audio. I thought I had three things playing at once but paused it to realize I wasn't tripping. Please fix the audio so we can enjoy this video.
My manx doesn't like water tho._.
I have a Manx and he's the cutest thing ever he's very overprotective and would never hurt anyone <3
my manx is a stumpy shes so tiny!!
but very fat
They're a little weird, but very sweet.
1:16: The cat is named "Helmi". That literally means "pearl" in Finnish. I know: i was born in Finland, and can speak Finnish. Does said Manx belong to a Finnish family?
My Manx is very playful and very talkative. I love him so much.
What's wrong with the audio? 😧
My kitty Manx doesn't like strangers. Takes her a while; Beautiful kitty.
i cant believe i never knew i had a manx cat i always wonderd why he is by my side and hes my bestfriend we litteraly do everything together and this video describes my baby boy perfectly and also hes a stumpy with his little stub
Cabbts are real they just dont live very long never longer than 10 weeks roughly .
Our Manx was essentially a rescue… He was brought home and though he loves everbody here, he pretry much "picked" me as his person… He is sweet, very smart, very chilled out, very teachable and is a wonderful companion… He likes to being where ever I am…
🛡️Sorry but them cabits do exist and this is the result of one.😶🛡️
Beautiful information. Thanks (music on the loud side, maybe?)
👍🏽😘
Adorable
I live on the isle of man & keep an eye out for our island cats .
However they are rare as a breed .
