1901 a first standard was established the first Manx-Club and was fixed for this race. One subdivides the Manx in four groups: The Rumpy, without tail-fuss - the Rump-riser - with unites few tail-fuss, the Stumpy, with a tiny stub-tail and the Longy, with one half-reaches until almost normal tail.

The doubles-fur consists of a short, very thick sub-wool and a somewhat longer waiter-fur. It is almost all colors, color-combinations and fur-patterns allows. The body is powerfully muscular and places under. The Manx rounded one and wide head with a short one until middle-long nose. The color of the nose-mirror should go with the fur-color. The eyes are big, round and positioning at the nose in a small corner. The color also should go with the fur.

The mutant gene, which is responsible for the strange anomaly of the tail, causes defects in the bone-construction simultaneously. Combinations of completely tailless Manx-Katzen among each other leads normally, that the cat-babies die before or shortly after the birth. Moreover, the lacking tail leads to impaired balances and damages to it Spinal column. This race has to do nothing more with "natural" cats and was allowed to the animal for the sake of is not bred.
