The Cymric is a plush, huggable breed with a dense, semi-long coat.
In 1994, the CFA accepted the Cymric as a division of the Manx breed, renaming the breed “Manx Longhair.” This was a boon to breeders since longhaired kittens born to Manx parents (possible when both parents carry the longhair gene) could be registered and shown in the longhair division.
Cymric kittens that inherit two copies of the Manx gene, one from each parent, die before birth and are reabsorbed in the womb.

 Cymric Synopsis
According to Marjan Swantek, author of The Manx Cat, published in 1987 by TFH Publications, the longhaired gene was probably introduced to the population by a Norwegian Forest Cat, brought to the island by King Mangus of Norway.
The ideal cat is a dimple rumpy, in which there is a complete absence of a tail.
Because of the dominant nature of the gene, if a Manx or Cymric were to mate with any other cat, it is possible for tailless kittens to result; however, these are not considered to be pure-breed.
