The Manx Cat - The Tale Of The Missing Tail

Filed Under Pets | Posted on April 7, 2008

The Manx cat is tailless, its body breaking off at the end with a seemingly abrupt finish. But, this cat is anything but limited by its lack of a tail. If anything, the Manx cat makes up for its missing tail with an endless supply of love and affection for its owners.

Originating on the Isle of Man, the Manx cat is legendary. There are numerous stories about how these darling cats lost their tails - from getting it stuck in the door of Noah’s ark to having its tail severed as a prize by Viking invaders, the Manx’s lack of a tail is steeped in tall tales.
