History
The Manx has lived on the Isle of Man for centuries, its taillessness resulting from a natural genetic mutation established in the island’s isolated cat population.

Intelligent, loyal, and playful. Often compared to dogs for their tendency to fetch, follow owners, and respond to commands. Gentle with children.
