Malanees

Dog Breed Profile

Malanees History

The Malayan Jungle Cat, or Manx cat, is a breed of domesticated cat. It is a member of the Felid family (along with the Abyssinian, Bengal and Somali cats) and comes in a wide variety of colors and patterns. The Malayan Jungle Cat is descended from the Felis chaus, a subspecies of the wildcat native to Southeast Asia. It was introduced to the Isle of Man by the British during the Victorian era, where it thrived. The popularity of the Manx cat meant that other animals had been imported to the island, and this led to the near-extinction of the indigenous Isle of Man population. The decline of the Manx population was reversed in the 1950s, and today the Manx cat is carefully protected.
