===Cymric (Manx Longhair)=== {{Main|Cymric (cat)}} The Cymric or Manx Longhair is a tailless or partially tailed cat of Manx stock, with semi-long to long hair, e.g. as the result of cross-breeding with Himalayan, Persian and other longer-haired breeds early in its development. While its name refers to [[Wales]] (''{{lang|cy|Cymru}}''), the breed was actually developed in [[Canada]], which has honoured the breed with a [[Royal Canadian Mint numismatic coins (20th century)#Numismatic Fifty-Cent Collections|commemorative 50-cent coin]] in 1999. Simply covering it in their Manx breed standards, the US-based [[Cat Fanciers' Association]] (CFA),<ref name="CFA std">{{cite web |url=http://www.cfa.org/Portals/0/documents/breeds/standards/manx.pdf |title=Manx Show Standard |date=28 April 2012 |work=CFA.org |publisher=[[Cat Fanciers' Association]] (CFA) |location=Alliance, Ohio, US |access-date=4 March 2013 |archive-date=25 April 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130425054439/http://www.cfainc.org/Portals/0/documents/breeds/standards/manx.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref> the [[Co-ordinating Cat Council of Australia]] (CCCA),<ref name="CCCA std">{{cite web |url=http://cccofa.asn.au/stdmanx.pdf |title=Manx/Manx Longhair: General Standard |date=November 2012 |work=CCCofA.asn.au |publisher=Co-ordinating Cat Council of Australia (CCCA) |location=Ferntree Gully, Victoria, Australia |access-date=5 March 2013 |archive-date=9 April 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130409055217/http://cccofa.asn.au/stdmanx.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref> and the UK's [[Governing Council of the Cat Fancy]] (GCCF)<ref name="GCCF regpol">{{cite web |url=http://www.gccfcats.org/regpols/manxregpol.pdf |title=Registration Policy for Manx Cats |date=February 1997 |work=GCCFCats.org |publisher=op. cit |access-date=4 March 2013 |archive-date=4 October 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131004215338/http://www.gccfcats.org/regpols/manxregpol.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref> recognise the variety as a longer-haired Manx rather than "Cymric" (the CFA<ref name="CFA std" /> and CCCA<ref name="CCCA std" /> call it the '''Manx Longhair''', while GCCF uses the term '''Semi-longhair Manx Variant'''<ref name="GCCF regpol" />). The majority of [[Cat registry|cat registries]] have explicit Cymric standards (published separately or along with Manx). Of the major registries, only the [[Feline Federation Europe]] (FFE) does not recognise the breed or sub-breed at all, under any name, {{as of|2014|October|lc=y}} (their Manx standard was last updated 17 May 2004).
