History
A longhaired, tailless cat from IrelandA specific gene was responsible for the semilong coat of the cats living on the Isle of Man in the Irish Sea.In the 1960s, Canadian breeder Blair Wright and American breeder Leslie Falteisek decided to fix this characteristic and thus create a new longhaired Manx breed, the Cymric (Cymru means Wales in Gaelic).Around 1970, the Canadian Cat Association recognized the breed. Naming it Longhaired Manx, the C.F.A. recognized the breed in 1989. As of this writing, the F.I.Fe has not recognized the Cymric. This breed is almost unknown in Europe.
