Bon à savoir

  • The taillessness comes from a natural mutation on an isolated island population.
  • Fully tailless cats are called rumpies; those with a stump, stumpies.
  • The same gene can cause spinal problems, so two tailless cats are never bred together.

À qui ça convient

Owners who will buy from a breeder who screens carefully and explains the risks plainly.

Entretien

Weekly brushing. Watch for signs of spinal or bowel trouble in kittenhood and ask for health records.

Histoire de la race

Tailless cats have been recorded on the Isle of Man since at least the 18th century, where an isolated population let the mutation spread. The cat appears on Manx coins and stamps, and the island once ran its own cattery to keep the type going.
