The Manx cat is a domestic cat breed which is widely known for having either no, or a very short tail. Manx cats, like all domestic cats, can live happily indoors or with access to outside. However, due to the Manx cat's unnusual appearance in lack of a tail, there is a risk of theft if it has access to outside. Building a cat run or letting the cat out in a harness limits such risk, and allows the cat to enjoy the outside without any danger.
