Can Manx land on their feet without a tail?

I really like everything about the Manx breed except its lack of tail. Is there a kitten for me?

Manx can be born completely tailless, called a "dimpled rumpy"; with one or two vertebrae that the cat may move up and down but does not "stop" the hand, called a "rumpy-rise"; with three to five vertebrae that are movable, called a "stub" or "stubbie"; on up to full length tails, called "tails" or "longies".

Is it true that cats always land on their feet?

Docside Veterinary Center - Home
If cats fall a short distance, they can almost always right themselves and land on their feet. If they fall more than one or two floors, however, they may sustain severe or even fatal injuries. The number of cats who become injured from falling is increasing, partially because of the large number of multi-story apartment buildings. Cats who are injured during falls are often said to have 'high rise syndrome.

Why do cats always land on their feet when they fall?

Frequently Asked ?s
They don’t. But in most cases, the sense of balance (in the inner ear), his agility, and his tail are used to quickly twist his body so he will land upright. Falling from extreme heights is dangerous. Children should be watched so they don’t test the "land on their feet" myth on the family cat! Sometimes—dewclaws tend to grow back into the flesh if they aren’t trimmed. Dogs may have trouble walking with long claws because their toes tend to spread apart.

Can all Airboats go across land?

Airboat FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions with Answers
All AirRangers can but many airboats are under-powered or use mismatched engine-prop combinations resulting in poor performance on land. There is more surface friction on land so additional power (torque/thrust) is required. This is achieved four ways. No! (see definition) We at American Airboats believe that they should be and design our boats accordingly. The ability to hit 45 mph on dry land is one of the design parameters for an AirRanger.
