Mythology and Folklore of the Manx Cat

When filling the ark and the rains came down, Noah closed the door and caught the tail of a cat. Cats from ships wrecked on the coasts around the Isle of Man came ashore and made the Island their home. Mother cats bit off the tails of their kittens to keep them from being snatched by the invading Scandinavians, who cut off the tiles and used them for decorating their helmets. The Manx is a breed of domestic cat originating on the Isle of Man, with a naturally occurring mutation that shortens the tail. Their sweet disposition make Manx Cats  excellent family pets.

The first official cat show in Great Britain was held at the Crystal Palace in 1871.
The first cat show in the United States was held in 1895 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Domestic species of small carnivorous mammals with soft fur, a short snout, and retractable claws are called CATs! It is the only domesticated species in the family Felidae and is often referred to as the domestic cat to distinguish it from the wild members of the family.

CAT: The English word cat dates back centuries. It’s roots are in the Latin cattus which is purported to be from Africa, in the Berber word kaddiska and the Nubian word kadis…all of which have the same meaning “cat.” The various European words for cat are similar: French-chat; German-Katze; Italian-gatto, Spanish-gato; Swedish-katt; and Dutch-kat.

Domestic Short Hair Cats are a mix of many different breeds and come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and personalities. They are generally playful, quiet and affectionate.

Domestic Long Hair Cats are the same breed as Domestic Short Hair Cats. The length of coat distinguishes one from the other. There are domestic medium hair cats as well as hairless/hypoallergic cats. Each and every one has its own separate purrsonality.
