A cat that has a genetic mutation in its spine that makes its tail be very short, or it can have no tail at all. They originated in the Isle of Man before the 18th century. Their hind legs are long than their front legs, ears are smaller than most cat breeds, they can come in any color, heads are round, large, round eyes and small nose which makes it very expressive. They are very nice cats. :)
