Breeds Cats Isle Manx Tail 1936
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1936, showcases a Manx cat named Thoma, as he sits comfortably on the ground, basking in the autumnal splendor of the season. The Manx cat, a native breed from the Isle of Man, is known for its unique characteristic of being tailless. However, in this image, Thoma's absence of a tail is not immediately apparent, as he is sitting down with his body obscuring the view of his hindquarters. The photograph holds historical significance as it captures a moment in time when Manx cats were gaining popularity outside of their native island. The breed, which has been documented as early as the 17th century, had already been the subject of fascination for collectors and enthusiasts. Manx cats are believed to have originated from a genetic mutation that caused the absence of a tail. The breed is also known for its distinctive rounded body, short legs, and rounded head. Despite their lack of a tail, Manx cats are agile and athletic, making them skilled hunters. Autumn, with its vibrant colors and crisp air, provides the perfect backdrop for Thoma's portrait. The leaves on the ground, which have turned various shades of red, orange, and yellow, create a stunning contrast against Thoma's fur, which is a rich, dark color. The photograph not only showcases the beauty of the Manx cat breed but also highlights the charm of the autumn season. This photograph, taken over eight decades ago, remains a testament to the enduring appeal of Manx cats and the allure of the autumn season. It is a reminder of the rich history and unique characteristics of this fascinating breed, which continues to captivate cat lovers around the world.
