The Manx cat is a breed of cat that has no tail. Manx cats are known for their short, stubby tails, or lack thereof. They are an intelligent and active breed, and they are known for being loyal and affectionate companions.
The Manx cat's lack of tail is the result of a genetic mutation possibly caused by inbreeding among the small population of British Shorthairs on the Isle of Man. The true or 'rumpy' Manx has only a small hollow where the tail would have been, although cats with residual tails are born
