Manx Cat VS. American Bobtail Cat.
What are the differences between these two cat breeds?
The Manx is known for his lack of a tail, but not every Manx is completely tailless. Some, known as “longies,” have a normal-length tail, and others, known as “stumpies,” have short tails. A Manx with no tail is called a “rumpy” and one with just a rise of bone at the end of the spine is known as a “riser.” You will see only rumpies and risers in the show ring, but cats with tails can be used in Manx breeding programs.
A Manx has other distinguishing characteristics as well, including a round head with large round eyes, a stout, powerful body with a broad chest, short back and broad, round rear end, short front legs, and long hind legs with muscular thighs. The long rear legs give him the appearance of a rabbit and maybe the source of the “cabbit” myth.
With his short tail, tufted ears and toes, and powerful body, the American Bobtail has a distinctively wild look, similar to that of a bobcat, but he’s a domestic cat through and through. He ranges in size from medium to large and matures slowly, taking up to three years to reach his full size.
Since this breed is distinguished by his short tail, it’s as good a place as any to begin a description of his looks. Each tail is unique. Most are 1 to 4 inches long, but they can be shorter or longer. The ideal bobtail is flexible and expressive, long enough to be visible above the back when the cat is alert, and maybe straight with a fat pad at the end, slightly curved or kinked, or bumpy along the length of the tail. Kittens are almost never completely tailless, as sometimes happens with the Manx.
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, and you may find him turning on faucets or “fishing” in a fountain.
Let’s say you love the Golden Retriever’s personality, but his size and energy level are a bit more than you can handle. American Bobtail lovers say you should take a look at their cat instead. He’s a lover with a heart of gold who is devoted to his people, follows them around, loves to play, walks nicely on a leash, after training, of course, and welcomes guests with a smile.
The American Bobtail has an adaptable nature, so he’s a good traveler. Long-distance truckers and Retrievers find him to be an excellent companion. The cats have also found a niche with some psychotherapists because of their loving and intuitive nature. That same adaptability and kindness make him a good family companion and suited to a variety of lifestyles, from relaxed to rowdy.

I've had both I had a Manx that I got when I was 14 and she lived for 20 years. She was the sweetest yet most fearless cat lol. She was indoor and outdoor. I've seen her chase off big dogs from the yard and climb to the top of 50 foot pine trees and climb back down lol.
We recently came across a American Bobtail kitten !! She was in our backyard❤️
I've had 4 manx cats throughout the years. One that I currently have has been diagnosed with megacolon when he was only 8 months old. He's on medicine and has a special diet. He is doing fine for now. My other manx has the opposite problem. He has loose stools and often has a messy bottom. I love both of them so much and I'm willing to do what I need to in order to keep them healthy, but it does require some work. They were both rescues!
I have a Manx he’s amazing!!!
They stink. Ugh 😩. They fart all the time. Breath stinks and they can’t hold their pee. Sigh. Pee stinks too. Their hair stinks too. They crap all the time. Sigh.
They can’t clean their butts all the way. You’ll find crap on your floors. Ugh. Nasty cats. Wish I’d known. Ugh 😩.
@@prestoncheapbtheadphoneste3010 That's not at all true. Your cat may have had a medical issue, which is unfortunate, but you're completely wrong to label them all like that. And to call them "nasty" just makes you an idiot
We found an orphan kitten (his family was KIA by local predators) and we took him in. He has a bobtail (corkscrew shape) and is the most loving cat I've ever had. He loves fresh wet food but if you call him while he is eating he will likely stop and come to you
was not sure if mine was manx or american bobtail...thinking more manx now that I've watched this. thank you,
I've never seen a Manx before. Very cute!!
I found a cat with American bobtail characteristics, big hind Legs, almond like eyes, stalks prey, and he’s is the most friendliest cats in the world and almost rarely never fights.
My manx kitten is like 9 months old and I saw her crab cat for the first time trying to protect the house a few days ago 😂😂😂 I feed a stray or two and I left my screen door open so they came a little close for comfort and my poor baby decided she was gonna fuck everyone up and made herself big! I'm glad I dont have to worry about break ins now!
Both seem like superb pets 🥰🥰🥰
They are!
I'm blessed with a white manics and a two-day-old black manics
I am blessed with a white man. X and a black Max
1:36 thats what my cat looks like!
My Manx cat has urinary problems as well as kidney problems. He’s on very expensive cat food Hill’s science diet.
I have a American bobtail female she the best ❤❤❤❤
My 12 year old Rumpy Manx and my 3 year old niece get along very well.
how do you tell the difference between them?
My Manx hates car rides.
😄
Mine doesn't unless he is in a crate. He hates the crate.
My manx cats have always loved the car. I train them early by taking them for rides often
Mine is all claws in the car lol. Doesn't enjoy it at all.
"Lonjies." Wow. Couldn't have even bothered to listen to the computer voice that made this video for you.
Actual solid advice otherwise so I did like the video.
