Tailless Cats

[Jenniberrie]

Is there a way to describe tailless cats that isnt breed specific, other than the word tailless obviously? Do tailless cats descend only from specific breeds? I thought I read the breeds were created through selective breeding of normal domestic cats. We have two lil tailless babes.

it can happen also in the best homes, out of the blue... So no need to mention any breed. Just tailless or very short tail or such...

Domestic short hair, black and white, very short tail.

They seem nice and sweet!

My neighbors had a Manx, he was a good cat, talked a lot and was pretty big.

Haha they have you fooled!
Just kidding. His tail moves and is obviously a tail, but hers is mostly a hair floof, and it doesnt move.

Their father was a very big cat, and the boy (the fluffier one in the 2nd picture) is as big as his mom at 4 months old, the girl is very petite
