what kind is it?

I would say they definately have Manx Blood, My little Black and White is adorable. By the way the little bump where the tail should be makes it a Rumpy, they are catagorized as either Rumpy No Tail, Stumpy speaks for it self, or Hock length again self explanitory. I share your love for the originator of the Cabbit Myth (The Manx!). Nearly forgot, Manx can be bred to Manx you just have to be sure that NST (Natural Short Tails) are not bred together. That is how the species came to survive on the Isle.

My brother has a cat with a "q" twisted tail. The vet said it was a deformity. Now I am wondering is it not a deformity?

It is a Genetic deformity, but do not think of it as a negative. Without "genetic deformities" we would have no polydactile cats, nor would we have Curled eared cats, or my love of loves Bobtails! Try not to see it as a negative but just something different. Remeber, the things that make us different are the things that make us Love. If everything were the same we would feel the same about everything.
