Fun Facts:

- Thanks to their distinct appearance, the Manx has been a favorite character in literature, film, and television. Some notables include Mac Manc McManx from the comic strip “Get Fuzzy,” Manx Cat, the antagonist in Paul Gallico's 1968 children's novel “Manxmouse: The Mouse Who Knew No Fear,” and the titular Stimpy from “The Ren & Stimpy Show”

- The Norton Manx motorcycle line used Manx cat badges to promote their brand, in the forms of both enameled metal pins and sew-on patches.

- The Meyers Manx, the original, Volkswagen Beetle-based dune buggy, was named after the cat, due to its stubby, short-bodied design

- A popular flying model aircraft of the late 1950s was the Manx Cat, sold in kit form as the Manx Cat V. Constructed of balsa wood, the plane features a very short tail (thus the name).

- The Isle of Man uses the Manx cat as one of the symbols of the island nation and its unique culture. On Isle of Man currency, Manx cats are the subject of the reverse of four special commemorative crown coins. The first two, issued in 1970 and 1975, are stand-alone releases in both copper-nickel and silver proofs, while the third, in 1988, inaugurated an ongoing series of annual cat coin issues that have also been produced in gold in various sizes; an almost-hidden Manx cat appears in the background on each of the 1989-onward releases featuring other breeds. A Manx, with a kitten, was the featured cat again in 2012.

- A Manx cat, in stylized Celtic knotwork art, also appears on the island's 1980–83 penny. The breed figures on numerous Isle of Man postage stamps, including a 2011 series of six that reproduce the art from Victorian era Manx cat postcards, a 1996 one-stamp decorative sheetlet, one stamp in a 1994 tourism 10-stamp booklet, a 1996 five-stamp series of Manx cats around the world, and a 1989 set of the breed in various coat patterns, plus two high-value definitives of 1983 and 1989. The cat appears prominently as the subject of a large number of tourist goods and Manx pride items available on the island and over the Internet, serving (along with the triskelion and the four-horned Manx Loaghtan sheep) as an emblem of the Isle of Man.
