Cymric and Manx are cat breeds that originated on the Isle of Man in the UK. Many people think that the cymric is the result of a cross between a manx and a persian that was done around the 1930s-1940s. In 1960, the cymric was first bred by two cat breeders named Blair Wright from Canada and Leslie Falteisek from the United States. They both decided to breed the cymric cat breed, so that the standards and genetic traits of the cymric breed would be perfect and could be recognized by cat registration organizations.Initially, the breed was named Longhaired Manx. Then in 1989/1990, the name was changed to cymric. The word “cymric” is of English origin, meaning “welsh”.
