Editing Manx cat (section)

=== Tasman Manx (curly-coated) ===
Named after [[Tasman Sea]] between [[Australia]] and [[New Zealand]], the Tasman Manx is a tailless or partially tailed Manx cat with a curly-haired coat not unlike that of a [[Selkirk Rex]], due a recessive mutation which arose in Manx litters in both Australia and New Zealand. {{As of|March 2013}}, the breed is only recognised by the NZCF<ref name="NZCF TMA">{{cite web |url= http://www.nzcf.com/sop/Tasman%20Manx.pdf |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |title=Breed Code IMS &ndash; Tasman Manx |date=January 2007 |work=NZCF.com |publisher=op. cit. |access-date=18 November 2011}}</ref> and the Catz Inc. registry<ref name="Catz">{{cite web |url=http://catzinc.org/documents/2012STANDARDS.doc |title=Judges Guild Index and Breed Standards |year=2012 |work=CatzInc.org |publisher=Catz Inc. |location=Te Awamutu, New Zealand |access-date=6 March 2013 |archive-date=7 March 2013 |archive-url=https://www.webcitation.org/6EvbTXEnc?url=http://catzinc.org/documents/2012STANDARDS.doc |url-status=dead}} [[Microsoft Word|MS Word .doc file]].</ref>{{rp|222&ndash;227}} (also of New Zealand) with breed standards. The coat may be short or semi-long.

The type arose possibly without existing [[rex mutation]] bloodlines (and none of the rex breeds are permitted as out-cross partners with Tasman Manx in Catz breeding guidelines).<ref name="Catz" /> Depending on length of tail (if any) and coat, kittens may sometimes be termed "Tasman Cymric", "Tasman Isle of Man Shorthair" or "Tasman Isle of Man Longhair", but these are not considered separate breeds. The term "Tasman Rex" has been applied to cats with this gene that do not fall into one of the previously mentioned labels<ref name="NZCF Breeds">{{cite web |url= http://www.nzcf.com/breeds/breeders.php |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |title=Breeds |year=2011 |publisher=op. cit. |work=NZCF.com |access-date=18 November 2011}}</ref> (lacking the Manx face and body shape to qualify), though relation if any to extant Rex mutation breeds is unclear. All of these additional terms beyond "Tasman Manx" appear to be "recognised", even promulgated by NZCF<ref name="NZCF Breeds" /> but without breed standards, and even the permissive Catz registry does not include them {{as of|lc=y|July 2014}}.<ref name="Catz" />
