Although the Manx cat’s origin is obscure, it has been suggested that centuries ago sailors brought in kittens from Asia, where tailless cats do exist, and thus established this island breed.
Ingawa asili ya paka wa Manx haijulikani, imependekezwa kuwa karne nyingi zilizopita mabaharia walileta paka kutoka Asia, ambapo paka zisizo na mkia zipo, na hivyo kuanzisha aina hii ya kisiwa.
