Perhaps the most distinguishing feature of a Manx cat is their ‘missing’ tail, which is the result of a natural genetic mutation that shortens it or leaves them with no tail at all. But the gentle and easygoing Manx also has many other attributes to its name, including its sweet and unassuming disposition, its strong independent streak and love for the great outdoors.
