Which cat breed is right for you?
The Manx hails from the Isle of Man in the Irish Sea, where its signature taillessness has been documented since at least the 18th century. A sturdy, medium-sized cat weighing 8–12 pounds, the Manx has a round head, prominent cheeks, and powerful hind legs that sit noticeably higher than the front — giving it a distinctive rabbit-like hop. The double coat comes in virtually every color and pattern, from solid white to classic tabby, and ranges from short (Manx) to semi-long (Cymric variant).
Manx cats are playful, dog-like companions that often learn to fetch and come when called. They bond deeply with their families and tend to be protective — some owners report their Manx growling at unfamiliar sounds. They generally get along well with children and other pets, though they may pick one favorite person to shadow throughout the day.

The Oriental Shorthair emerged in the 1950s and 1960s when British breeders crossed Siamese cats with Russian Blues, British Shorthairs, and Abyssinians to create a Siamese-type cat in a rainbow of non-pointed colors. Sleek and angular at 6–12 pounds, this breed has a wedge-shaped head, strikingly large ears, vivid green eyes (or blue in white coats), and a short, fine, glossy coat in over 300 color-and-pattern combinations — more than any other cat breed.
Oriental Shorthairs are among the most extroverted and opinionated cats in existence — they will tell you exactly what they think in a loud, distinctive voice. Fiercely loyal, they bond tightly to their humans and follow them everywhere, including into the shower. They are athletic, curious, and endlessly entertaining, making them ideal for active households with children and other social pets.
