After these early interactions with humans, cat dispersal really took off during the classical period, when the Egyptian cat spread throughout the Old World and became a true member of the family. There is evidence that domestic cats accompanied humans on their trade routes; the Vikings and the Romans were particularly good at taking cats along on their conquests. It has even been said that for a time Viking longships were forbidden to sail without a cat on board to deal with rodent pests. It wasn’t until the late 1800s that the ‘cat fancy’ came to be, when Englishman Harrison Weir carried out the first pedigree cat show and published the book Our Cats and All About Them: Their Varieties, Habits and Management. The guide established the standards for the common breeds of the time. Since then, based on genetic data from more than 1,000 cats, at least 17 random-bred populations of domestic cats have been identified, constituting 22 breeds. Over 70 genetic variants have been defined and about 40 of these affect the appearance of the cat – that is, coat colour, coat pattern, coat length, eye colour and body structure. This cat has fluffy fur with different patches that make it unique. You can color the patches with any colors you like, or try to match them with a real cat breed. Some pet cats mostly live outside. They like to roam the neighborhood and come home when they please. The Manx cat originated on the Isle of Man, with a naturally occurring mutation that shortens the tail (Tailless (Manx) M/m). The tailless mutation can lead to serious health problems such as lameness, incontinence and constipation, known as Manx syndrome.
