Strange dogs are usual targets of attack. Manx Cats enjoy the attention they receive at shows and like meeting new cats and people.People call the Manx cat the "dog-cat" because of its strong desire to communicate with people, objects retrieving, and burying the toys. They are the cats for dog lovers. They are easily trained to come by name or with a whistle and learn the "no" command. Manx are intelligent enough to outwit the master.
