Second, their hind legs are longer than their front legs, which makes them hop like rabbits. Those special features are what make many people fall for them.

The Manx cat price is quite low, only ranging from $300 – $500/ kitten. In this article below, we will provide details on this breed in terms of prices, selling websites and reputable breeders to find Manx kittens for sale.

Characteristics of the Manx

Appearance

The Manx is a small cat breed with a height of 10 – 15 inches (25 – 38 cm) and a weight of 8 – 12 pounds (3.6 – 5.5 kg).

As a whole, they are not much different from other breeds with a round face, big eyes and upright ears. Their coat is very silky, coming in black, white, mottled, silver,… There are two types of coats:

• Long-haired: Long-haired cats have two smooth layers of hair near the thighs, the abdomen, around the neck, between the toes. There are tufts of hair between the toes and in their ears.
• Short-haired: Short-haired cats have double coat with thick and short under layer, and a longer outer layer.

The most characteristic feature of this breed is their tail. There are 4 different types of tails:

• “Dimple rumpy” or “rumpy” – There is no tail at all.
• “Riser” or “rumpy riser” – A piece of cartilage or some spine under the coat, which can be seen most clearly when kittens is happy and wag their tail.
• “Stumpy” – the tail is longer than “Riser” but shorter than “Tailed”. (In some rare cases, kittens are born with a broken tail that is not fully developed).
• “Tailed” or “longy” – the same or almost the same length with other cats’ tails.

Usually, the shorter the tail is, the higher the Manx costs.

Personality

The Manx is active, playful and cheerful. You do not need to spend too much time caring for them as they can play with small toys by themselves.

They are affectionate, devoted and tend to stick with only one owner over their lifetime. But it does not mean they are hard to approach. In fact, they are very friendly and willing to make new friends.
