Cymric
Other names: Longhair Manx
The Cymric is basically a long-haired Manx. They share all the same physical and genetic characteristics, except for their coats. Although the long-haired variety of this tailless cat may have originally appeared naturally on the Isle of Man, some Canadian breeders have claimed the breed, arguing that they worked on creating their characteristics intentionally. The debate still rages on, so the Cymric is not currently recognised as an individual breed by some cat associations.
