History Of The Cymric:
Although the Cymric is the Welsh word for "Welsh", this is an exclusively North American breed. Manx cats have always produced the occasional longhaired kitten and, in the 1960's, breeders worked to gain recognition for these variants. By the 1980's the CFA and TICA both recognized the Cymric breed, but the CFA has now reclassified it as longhaired Manx. Cymrics are not recognized in Britain.
