A longy white Manx female. Although tail suppression (or tail length variety) is not the sole characteristic feature of the breed, [5] the chief defining one of the Manx cat is its absence of a tail to having a tail of long length, or tail of any length between the two extremes. [23]
Cats with the homozygous genotype (MM) die before birth, and stillborn kittens show gross abnormalities of the central nervous system. [3] Cats with the heterozygous genotype (Mm) show severely shortened tail length, ranging from taillessness to a partial, stumpy tail. [3] Some Manx cats die before 12 months old and exhibit skeletal and organ ...
