These days, the Manx cat is at home in any domestic setting. If the question means "Where did the Manx cat originate?", it originated on the Isle of Man. They are thought to share a common ancestry with the British Shorthair, and that it was just a genetic mutation that resulted in the tailless variety we now know as the Manx.
