Summary
About Manx
The Manx is a medium, powerfully built cat best known for its little or absent tail and rounded, compact body. With strong, rabbit‑like hind legs, it loves to jump and play. Affectionate and people focused, it comes in short or semi‑long coats in many colors. Careful breeding is vital for spinal health.
About European
A curious, playful and adaptable shorthaired cat with a sturdy, agile body and a natural appearance. The European has roots in Europe’s original cat population and enjoys both family companionship and quiet time alone. It needs daily play, opportunities to climb and scratch, and a safe home environment. Its coat is easy to care for, and each cat’s temperament and experiences determine how well it gets along with children and other animals.
