The Manx is a medium cat breed originating in Isle of Man. Adult cats typically weigh 8 to 12 pounds and live 12 to 15 years. Typical traits: tailless, sturdy, dog-like, playful.
Households comfortable with the breed variations, from fully tailless rumpies to short-tailed stumpies. Manx are sociable and often follow their people about. Adopters who have not asked about spinal health. The gene that shortens the tail also affects the lower spine, and affected cats can have bowel, bladder or hind-limb problems. Ask the rescue directly about litter-box reliability and mobility history before applying.
Adult Manxes need about 25 minutes of daily exercise; adolescent cats typically need 30 minutes. The coat is double-coated with moderate shedding, and brushing every 3 weeks keeps the coat manageable.
