Manx
These affectionate short-tailed cats are ideal for singles and families who want a close-bonding feline friend.
Breed Overview
Originating in the Isle of Man, this breed was introduced by human settlers and explorers who may have been the Spanish Armada or even Vikings. It is still uncertain how and when they truly originated. These intelligent, fun, and active cats are distinguished by their very short tail. They are very affectionate, independent, and docile cats. They form close bonds with humans, are compatible with children, and get along very well with dogs. They are ideal companions for singles, first-time cat owners, families, and those set on work schedules. Brushing their coats biweekly is beneficial to get rid dead hairs.
