ƒ??The Isle of Manƒ??s tailless cats are famous across the world, but the reason why they differ in this respect from almost all other cats is still subject to misunderstanding, comment and speculation.¶ÿ Did a TT motorcyclist run over a catƒ??s tail during the famous race?¶ÿ Did Mannanan, Celtic sea god and the islandƒ??s traditional protector, create the cats without tails? Or, more prosaically, is taillessness the result of their heredity?
This book goes some way towards explaining the origin and folklore of these intelligent and friendly animals.
