	Karello Cattery ~ Origin
		Manx cats originated on the Isle of Man from a population of cats whose common ancestry sprang from the same roots as the British Shorthair.
		Many stories and legends attempt to account for the Manx cat's origin and its arrival on the Isle of Man. In many of these tales, the Manx are descended from ship's cats who were shipwrecked on the Isle of Man when their ships were sunk off the coast.
		In another story, the Manx was late in reaching Noah's Ark and Noah, eager to set sail as the waters rose, the door slammed shut and cut off their tail.
