From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cymric (pronounced KIM-rick or KUM-rick) is a breed of cat. Some cat registries consider the Cymric a long-haired variety of the manx, rather than a separate breed. The name comes from Cymru (pronounced KUM-ree), the indigenous Welsh name of Wales, though the breed is not associated with Wales in any fashion, and was possibly given as an attempt to give a "celtic" name to the breed - which actually originated from descendents of Manx Cats from the Isle of Man.
