Cats being tailless results from a genetic mutation that inhibits the development of tailor forming an extremely short tail that's invisible. Examples of such cats are the Manx and,Cymric. They are usually found in Japan and the isle of man.
There are two breeds known born with a very small tail. The short-haired Manx and Bobtail cats due to a genetic mutation cause deformation of the tine that can cause a lack of tail. Manx cats and bobcats are superficial. Manx lack long facial tufts and have shorter ears and snouts than bobcats.
Cats without tails are known as Manx cats. Manx cats are a breed of cats that are naturally tailless or have a very short tail. They are known for their intelligence and loyalty.
The Manx cat's lack of tail is the result of a genetic mutation that causes severe disease. The true (or 'rumpy') Manx has only a small hollow where the tail would have been, although cats with residual (stumpy) tails are also born.
