Overview & Traits
The Cymric is a breed of domesticated cat. Some cat registries consider the Cymric a long-haired variety of the manx, rather than a separate breed: except for the length of fur, in all other respects, the two breeds are exactly the same. The name comes from Cymru, the indigenous Welsh name of Wales, though the breed is not associated with Wales in any fashion, and was possibly given as an attempt to give a "celtic" name to the breed - which actually originated from descendants of Max cats from the Isle of Man.
Trait Profile
Breed History
The origins of the Cymric date back many decades, surrounded by fascinating lore and dedicated breeding programs. Early foundation cats were crossbred to solidify the standard traits we observe today. It quickly gained international recognition by the WCF and other major registries.
Living Needs
When it comes to the living environment, the Cymric thrives in spaces where it can safely explore, play, and interact with its family. They benefit from vertical spaces like cat trees and regular mental stimulation. A balanced diet and routine veterinary check-ups are essential for their well-being.
