Cymric Cat

The Cymric Cat gets its name from the Gaelic word for Wales. The Cymric is a friendly cat that gets along well with people and also dogs. In fact, they tend to be somewhat doglike.

The Cymric is most noted for its lack of a tail. In effect, the Cymric is regarded as a longhaired version of the Manx. The Cymric is pronounced KIM-rick or KUM-rick.

The Cymric (pronounced KIM-rick or KUM-rick) is a breed of cat. Some cat registries consider the Cymric a long-haired variety of the manx, rather than a separate breed. The name comes from Cymru (pronounced KUM-ree), the indigenous Welsh name of Wales, though the breed is not associated with Wales in any fashion, and was possibly given as an attempt to give a "celtic" name to the breed - which actually originated from descendents of Manx Cats from the Isle of Man.
