The Manx Cat

Description
-
The tailless cat native to the Isle of Man, one of the most recognisable symbols of the Island worldwide. The breed's origin is debated but the cats have been documented on the Island for centuries. Various folk explanations exist for the missing tail, including that the cat was late boarding Noah's Ark and the door closed on its tail. The Manx cat is a living emblem of the Island's distinctiveness, a creature that exists nowhere else in the same form.
