Manx cats come from the Isle of Man. Those bred there have their tails docked at a young age. A manx cat with a tail is usually one that has been bred off the island, or in unusual cases, by a breeder who does not practice tail-docking.

It is also very easy to confuse a Silver Tabby runt for a manx cat with a tail, as the two have similar colours & markings.

"One story is that a cat on Noah's Ark was almost late for the boat to set sail, and the closing door chopped off the cat's tail. Yes I know... it's sad." False

Manx and Japanese bob tail cats carry a genetic defect that affects the spinal column. These cats must be bred with extreme caution and should only be bred by a professional breeder.

A cat's tail being upright only means that they are happy. If some cats have their tails up very often, it means that they are obviously very happy with their life.

A manx tail is a result of a genetic mutation. Humans have nothing to do with it.

How do you recognize a manx cat?

The main thing that distinguishes a manx cat from other breeds is its tail. A manx has a naturally short tail. It may be so short that it is almost non-existent, it may be a stubby bit of a tail, or the manx may have a tail that is about half the length of a normal cat's tail. Any of these variations makes a manx easy to recognize.
