Editing Manx cat (section)

=== Isle of Man Shorthair (tailed) ===
Resembling the [[British Shorthair]], the Isle of Man Shorthair is essentially a fully tailed Manx cat. That is, it is a cat of Manx stock, with Manx features, but without any expression of the Manx taillessness gene. {{As of|March 2013}}, it is only recognised by New Zealand Cat Fancy (NZCF) with its own breed standard. Any coat colour and pattern acceptable in the British Shorthair is permissible in the IoM Shorthair (the same restriction is applied to the Manx in the NZCF standard), and it requires the double coat of the Manx.<ref name="NZCF IMS">{{cite web |url=http://www.nzcf.com/sop/Isle%20of%20Man%20SH.pdf |title=Breed Code IMS &ndash; Isle of Man Shorthair |date=January 2007 |publisher=op. cit |access-date=18 November 2011 |archive-date=25 July 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120725071731/http://www.nzcf.com/sop/Isle%20of%20Man%20SH.pdf |url-status=dead}}</ref> In other international registries (e.g. GCCF, who also treat Manx as a British Shorthair variant<ref name="GCCF RBRP" />), such cats are designated "Tailed Manx" and only recognised as Manx breeding stock (they are important as such, since breeding two tailless Manx together results in birth defects), and cannot be show cats.<ref name="GCCF regpol" />
