Background
In 1998 a woman named Susan Manley "discovered" the Ringtails when she found Solomon as a two-day-old kitten. She bottle-fed him and he started to grow. Around the four-weeks-old-mark she noticed he had an unusually curly tail, so she took him to a veterinarian to investigate. The veterinarian said that Solomon was healthy and that no medical issue had caused the curly tail.[1] One year later in 1999 she decided to breed this new ring-tailed cat. A few years later in 2005 she partnered up with a few breeders and the ring-tailed cats were bred with Domestic Shorthairs, a well-known and common cat.[1]
