Origin Description

The Cymric cat, originating from the Isle of Man, nestled in the Irish Sea between England and Ireland, has a unique history dating back to the late 18th century. The breed's roots trace back to a spontaneous mutation among Manx cats, resulting in kittens born without tails or with very short ones.

It wasn't until the 1960s that the Cymric cat gained recognition as a distinct breed from the Manx. In 1963, Canadian breeder Blair Wright played a pivotal role by importing a long-haired Manx cat from the Isle of Man. Through careful breeding with other long-haired felines, the first Cymric cats came into existence.

Description

The Cymric cat, also known as the Longhair Manx, is a charming domestic cat breed closely related to the Manx cat. Its name is derived from the Isle of Man, referred to in the native Manx language as "Mannin." While sharing many traits with the Manx, the Cymric stands out with its distinctive long, flowing coat.

This breed boasts a compact and muscular body, falling within the medium to large size range and showcasing a sturdy build. The Cymric's body is rounded, featuring a well-developed chest and hindquarters. What truly catches the eye is its long, dense, and silky coat, often double-layered and varying in length. Notably, the hair on the ruff, britches, and tail tends to be the longest. The coat comes in a wide array of colors and patterns, including solid, tabby, tortoiseshell, and colorpoint variations.
