Editing Manx cat (section)

The [[Norton Manx]] motorcycle line (1947&ndash;1962, [[Norton Motors Ltd.]]), though ostensibly named after the [[Isle of Man TT]] road race (which the brand dominated for decades, until the 1970s), was long promoted with Manx cat badges, in the forms of both enameled metal pins and sew-on patches. The Manx Norton has experienced a major revival among modern enthusiasts of classic motorcycle racing.

The [[Meyers Manx]] (1964&ndash;1971, B. F. Meyers & Co.) is the original, much-copied [[Volkswagen Beetle]]–based [[dune buggy]], and broke desert racing records shortly after its introduction. It was named after the cat, due to its design &ndash; short-bodied, tall-wheeled, and manoeuvrable. The original designer has revived and updated it as the "Manxter" (2000&ndash;present, Meyers Manx, Inc.).

A popular [[flying model aircraft]] of the late 1950s was the Manx Cat, sold in [[Model kit|kit form]] as the Manx Cat V, and in printed plan form as the Manx Cat I through IV, with progressively larger wings. Designed by Bob Buragas, the hand-launched [[biplane]] model is constructed of [[balsa wood]], features a very short tail (thus the name), has a 32.5&nbsp;inch wingspan (in versions IV and V), can accommodate .19 to .35 engine sizes, and can be modified with a Dumas Spectrum "combat" wing. It was profiled in hobbyist magazines, like the February 1957 ''Flying Models'' (which details the history of the different models, including a miniature Manx Kitten version), and the October 1958 ''American Modeler''.

A [[Grimjack]] comic book story, ''The Manx Cat'', was serialised as a Comicmix.com [[webcomic]] in January 2011, and has since seen print as a six-issue miniseries by [[IDW Comics]]. The story involves "The Manx Cat", a statuette of such a cat that at first seems to be a simple [[MacGuffin]] like the classic ''Maltese Falcon'' of the [[The Maltese Falcon (disambiguation)<!--Yes, this is an intentional link to a disambiguation page.-->|novel and films of that name]], but which begins showing malevolent powers. The plot thickens with time travel, reincarnation, and [[Cthulhu Mythos]]-style "elder gods". Like most modern comics, it features digitally-colored art, over hand-drawn pencil work.

In popular music, [[Florrie Forde]] released a 1930 recording of a [[Dan Leno#Personal life|Dan Leno Jr]] comedic [[music hall]] song, "What Happened to the Manx Cat's Tail?", as the B-side of "Stein! Stein! Ev'rywhere We Go", on an 8-inch, [[Gramophone record#78 rpm disc developments|78&nbsp;RPM gramophone record]] (serial number 1430 on the [[Edison Bell Radio]] label).<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.discogs.com/Florrie-Forde-Stein-Stein-Evrywhere-We-Go-What-Happened-To-The-Manx-Cats-Tail/release/2476642 |title=Florrie Ford – Stein!
