Depending on the country and cat organization referenced, rumpy, rumpy risers and stumpies are the only Manx cat tail types that fit the breed standard for Manx cats. The longer cat tail lengths seen in some Manx cats are considered a breed fault, although they occur as naturally in the breed, but not as often, as the shorter tails.
Cats with the heterozygous genotype (Mm) show severely shortened tail length, ranging from taillessness to a partial, stumpy tail. [3] Some Manx cats die before 12 months old and exhibit skeletal and organ defects. Because it was discovered in naturally occurring populations of cats, the Manx gene could confer some kind of selective advantage ...
The Manx cat is a unique breed known for its distinctive lack of a tail, although some may have short or full tails. Originating on the Isle of Man, this breed is celebrated for its rounded ...
Manx cats possess a heterozygous mutation resulting in a shortened or missing tail. Crosses of two heterozygous Manx cats result in two-thirds of surviving offspring displaying the heterozygous shortened tail phenotype, and one-third of surviving offspring of normal tail length that is homozygous for a normal allele.
According to Catster, Manx cats are labeled by tail length, with "Longies" having half-tails, "Stumpies" having short tails, "Rumpy-Risers" having tiny little nubs, and "Rumpies" having no tails ...
The American Bobtail is an uncommon breed of domestic cat which was developed in the late 1960s. [1] It is most notable for its stubby "bobbed" tail about one-third to one-half the length of a normal cat's tail. This is the result of a cat body type genetic mutation affecting the tail development, similar to that of a Manx cat. [1]

The Mekong Bobtail—a colorpoint cat breed with a bobbed tail. More than one gene is responsible for tail suppression in cats; research is incomplete, but it is known that the Japanese Bobtail and related breeds have a different mutation from that found in the Manx and its derivatives.
