Manx Cat

Size

Medium to large, with males weighing from 9 to 13 pounds and females weighing from 7 to 11 pounds

Coat

Longhair medium, dense, soft, silky; shorthair short, dense, glossy

When she’s not hunting bugs or rodents or standing guard, the Manx is an affectionate, eventempered and playful cat. She loves to follow her favorite person from room to room and curling up on their lap for a snooze. Your Manx will even carry on a conversation with you in her quiet trill.

Temperament

When exposed to new activities, people and animals from a young age, the Manx is adaptable and even enjoys meeting and greeting new people. She’s smart enough to learn tricks like fetch and walking on a leash. Your Manx makes a great roadtrip companion, as she enjoys riding in cars, and she likes to play with water. She can learn to open doors and turn on faucets. As a peopleoriented cat, she needs lots of attention so don’t leave her alone for hours at a time.

Characteristics

Although the breed is known for their lack of tail, not all Manx are tailless. Some have normallength tails (known as “longies”) while others have nubs or stumps (called “stumpies”). The tailless Manx are called
“rumpies” and a rumpy with a rise of bone at the end of her spine is called a “riser”.

In addition to the variations in tail length, Manx are a round cat overall. They have a round head with large, round eyes, a stout body, broad chest, and round rear. Their front legs are much shorter than their hind legs, so their rear sits higher than their shoulders. Manx can have short or long coats. Longhaired Manx are called Cymric in some cat associations.

Lifespan

8 to 14 years

Colors

Manx cats come in a vast range of colors and patterns, from solids to tabbies to calicos. The pointed pattern (as seen in the Siamese) is not permitted, nor is chocolate or lavender.

Shedding

Manx cats shed, particularly during the spring and fall. Brush their double coat regularly to remove loose hair.

Health

The Manx is generally healthy, but they may suffer from some specific diseases and conditions, including:

Arthritis in the tailbone of “stumpies”

Corneal dystrophy, which develops at approximately 4 months of age

Manx syndrome, a collection of defects, which include a short spine, urinary tract problems, and difficulties with bowels and digestion. The syndrome affects approximately 20 percent of Manx and appears by 4 months of age.
