In this video, we are counting down the top 10 facts about the Manx Cat that you might not know.

A Quick Overview:
Origin: UK
Height: 14 to 16 inches
Weight: 8 to 12 pounds
Life Expectancy: 8 to 14 years

The Manx began life as a mouser, and he retains his fine hunting skills and alert nature. With a Manx around the house, you don’t need a watchdog; you’ve got a “watchcat” who reacts rapidly and will growl threateningly or maybe even go on the attack at the sight or sound of anything out of the ordinary. If he sees that you aren’t alarmed, he’ll settle back down. When he’s not protecting his family and property from mice, stray dogs, or other threats, however, the Manx is a mellow fellow: an even-tempered and affectionate cat who enjoys serene surroundings. That’s not to say he is inactive. This is a happy, playful cat who likes to follow his favorite person through the house and assist with whatever he or she is doing.

When you are ready to relax, though, the Manx will be in your lap, ready for a comfy nap. If no lap is available, he’ll curl up on the nearest available spot that allows him to keep an eye on you. He “speaks” in a quiet trill and will carry on a conversation if you talk to him. The Manx has an adaptable nature if he is exposed to activity and other people as a young kitten. He will enjoy meeting new people, greeting them with a gentle head butt or cheek rub, and can adapt to a new home or family if such an upheaval in his life is necessary.

This is a smart cat who can learn tricks, including fetch and come, and is willing to walk on a leash if taught early. He often likes to ride in the car, making him a great companion on long-distance trips. It’s not unusual for the Manx to enjoy playing in the water—he is an island cat, after all—and you may find him turning on faucets or “fishing” in a fountain. He is also good at learning how to open doors, so be sure anything you don’t want him to have is under lock and key.

Unlike most cats, the Manx is willing to accept boundaries and will usually respect your wishes if you tell him no when he jumps on the counter or scratches on your sofa. Just be sure you give him an acceptable alternative as thanks for his nice behavior. The Manx is highly people-oriented. Choose him only if you can give him plenty of time and attention daily.

  1. How affectionate, even-tempered, and playful is your Manx?

    Do they enjoy meeting and greeting new people?

    Let us know in the comments!

  2. My manx cat is very shy around new people. She runs and hides in the basement when the doorbell rings. She’s affectionate once she knows you though. She is a very good mouser…once I woke up to two mice by my bedroom door.

  3. My little man is 15 and unwell. Longterm IBD is getting the best of him. He is my 2nd manxx and I watched the video to remind myself why he and his "bro b4 him" are so special. Everything true.

  4. My Manx, Luci Lou, is almost 2yrs old. Luci is black with a white star just below her neck and has many scattered white,, almost whisker like hairs scattered all over her and has the barest bit a bump where her tail would be. She has to know where I am at all times. She likes to jump on my shoulders at odd times and has freaked me out by jumping on me from on top of the open door when I walk past. Luci is terrified of strangers and hides until they are gone. She is the most vocal cat I've ever had and is by far the best hunter. Luci is so attached to me that she had her kittens right next to me under the covers on my bed just over a month ago. 2 out of 4 kittens are also Manx.

  5. Leo is a 14 lbs orange rumpy riser. I always wanted one and I luckily found the one that's perfect for me. I've had cats my whole life and he's definitely my favorite

  6. Hey. Absolutely loooove Manx kitties. My first cat was a Manx. Haven't come across one in a looong time. Wonderful wonders. Beautiful kitties. Thanks

  7. I’m my manx’s favorite person so she’s pretty affectionate with me and my family, she likes to bite our hair sometimes?? Don’t know if that’s like a breed thing or I just have a weird cat. Shes very playful and even likes belly rubs, but she usually doesn’t like meeting new people.

  8. My Manx (Rigby) is currently about 9 years old, but he doesn't look a day over 2. At the moment, he's shrimped up looking like an orange cream-cicle on the floor next to me because he refuses to leave my side.

    When my grandma asks me "When are you going to have kids?", I remind her that I have a Rigby so I'm more than content for now.

  9. My Manx is the sweetest most vocal cat I ever met! She has got some digestion issues however. Trying what I can to help her ❤️

  10. We have an 18 month old rumpie tortie/manx named Bunny. We call her "Funny Bunny" because she loves to play with cat videos on YouTube and looks funny when she does. She's totally devoted to her tortie sister Cleo.
    We rescued Bunny and Cleo when they were 3 weeks old. It's hard to imagine our house without Bunny.

  11. We have one she is ginger and white she was found on our back deck she was very friendly so we brought her in I called our vet and got her in right away, I said to our vet how could someone be so crul to cut her tail off he laughed and said she was born that way omg had no idea what she was she didn't have a chip he thought she was around 2 years old so we named her honeycomb she has adjusted well she is very smart we taught her to sit pretty for her temptation, we love her so much she sleeps cuddled right up to me most every night if not she likes to sleep right by my feet.

  12. We have a 1/2 Manx girl: stiff tail only a few inches, arch, disproportionate hind legs, etc. She’s our 5th cat, and is unique. She’s incredibly loyal and devoted, following me everywhere I go all day, can’t stand for me to disappear for more than 30 seconds. Runs towards any noise or commotion, super nosy, lol, wants to “help” with anything we’re doing. Sleeps against my head every night. Truly a lovable, loyal friend and companion, much like a dog as the video suggests 🙂

  13. I have a 17 year old big baby. he is solid black and the sheading is hell sometimes.

  14. My cat just had kittens and it’s an all black Manx with no tail Born April 15th

  15. I rescued a little Manx female. She was the absolute cutest little thing ever. Her nub was maybe an inch and a half. She lived with me for about 16 years. Mandy Manx, still one of my favorite living things to this day.
