[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 595578, member: 1963"] Manx cats are an actual breed with special characteristics aside from the lack of a tail. The mutation that causes the lack of tail is the same one as that which causes spina bifida in humans. As a result, while tailless cats do not suffer the same crippling that humans do, they are more prone to bladder problems and constipation. While most tailless cats live long healthy lives, it is something to be aware of. The only signs of neurological deficiency shown by many tailless cats is a "bunny-hopping" gait with the back legs. Other than that, they are normal cats in every way except for the missing tail. [/QUOTE]
