What is the difference between a Manx and an American Bobtail cat?
The key difference between a Manx and an American Bobtail is their tail and origin. The American Bobtail, developed in the United States, has a naturally short, bobbed tail that varies in length and shape, along with a muscular athletic build and dog-like temperament. The Manx, originating from the Isle of Man, is known for being tailless or having a very short tail due to a genetic mutation and typically has a rounded body shape with different personality traits.
