From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Manx is a breed of cat with a naturally occurring mutation of the spine. This mutation shortens the tail, resulting in a range of tail lengths from normal to tailless. The hind legs are longer than the front, giving the cat a rounded appearance. Manx cats move with a hop when running, resembling rabbits more than cats. The Manx is highly intelligent, playful, and in its behaviour, bizarre, but very reminiscent of dogs. Some Manx cats will fetch small thrown objects. It is considered a social feline, and the breed loves humans.
