Summary
American Ringtails (Ringtail Sing-a-Ling) are an experimental breed of domestic Cat, they were "discovered" by a woman named Susan Manley when she rescued a Cat named Solomon. American Ringtails are recognized for their very curly ring-like tails.Selvaggio, Lisa (2021-12-30). "American Ringtail Cat Information and Pictures - PetGuide". Petguide.com.

History
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. 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.Selvaggio, Lisa (December 30, 2021).
