I love how they feel like a weighted pillow without a tail for some reason
I have that cat I LOVE her
My Manx cat’s tail isn’t like ‘missing’, but it’s not long. It’s like a little tree stump. I love my Manx, she is super cute!
I had 3 manxes. All were lovebugs and great mousers. And let me tell you – they are great guard dogs. They are sociable, but protective of thier people. One of mine literally jumped on the back of a strange dog in my yard when I was was kid and drove it away from me and my sibs. Quiet and sweet, I would recommend this breed to ANYONE. Btw, if you want a longer haired varient of the Manx, get a cymric!
I have 2 Manx cats and they are just like dogs! They are so loving. One is named slick because he was found covered in oil and burned by some piece of trash! Anyway, we call him slick Jonas because he gets so jealous when I spend time with my wife. ❤️✌️ both are rumpies
Edit: my Manxs is a tuxedo cat that wasn’t mentioned in this video
That's my cat Buttons at 27 seconds, at 2:10 and at 4:00. <3 She passed in June 2017 at age 18.
I was told years ago by a vet that there is no PURE bred Manx as they will always have kittens with tails in a litter even though both parents had no tail. Genetically it will always have a gene that produces a tail in some. Can you confirm that?
I rescued a manx baby about 8 or 9 months ago. She has a beautiful blueish looking coat. She is absolutely part dog. She follows me around everywhere I go, she plays fetch every day. She hops around like a bunny rabbit too she never jumps lol but her balance is quite lacking. I have to set up stuff around the house so she can hop onto higher ledges. She is afraid of jumping too high unless it's to destroy my door frames.
did you know that my Mum had 3 kttins one had a tail one had no butholw and one with no tail 2 die now We have Wags the one with no taiI
My Rumpy is 12 and still very playful. He is a giant love bug.
We have a manx cat all black in color he is 21 years old now and still going he sleeps a lot but loves to sleep on our laps, he is very smart also, he was always good with the grand kids he is older then our oldest grand daughter, who is also 21 years old, it's going totough whenthe guy passes on.
i have one of them
I have one! His name is Almost.
Because he ALMOST has a tail. Lol
We love him to death. He’s the sweetest kitty in the world.
I've got a black Stumpie called Simba!
He doesn't really like being near people and can be skittish but he definitely likes pets if you can get him to not run away lmao
His butt definitely looks like a rabbits his nickname is "bunny butt" 😂
He can be a real pain in the ass
But I still love him ♡
I love my manx!! I should’ve done my research before getting her because I really didn’t count on doing this much physical activity just to keep her sane 😭 But I love her
I had an orange tabby rumpy riser Manx. Very affectionate. He would rub up on me and meow for pets just about any time I was around.
On many occasions I would sit there and do nothing but pet him for an hour or more.
So many people assume all cats without tails are Manx. Most of the ‘Manx’ cats up for adoption are actually Japanese bobtails. These 2 breeds are completely opposite in nature! We lost our beloved Manx boy in 2020, think he caught covid from us 🥺 We searched for a Manx to adopt & hubby came home with a Japanese bobtail kitten. He was a lil maniac that refuses to cuddle or sit still. We still love him! But we still keep an eye out for a manx rescue we can adopt & get cuddles from 😆
" What breed are your cats? "
Old Me : Grey Striped and Orange
NEW ME : MANX!!!
i love cats
Mannn I love my lil girl Trix she definitely does act like a dog at times and is super friendly
hahahahhahahaha…..the Noah theory made me laugh to death. It made me realise the stupidity underlying al l religions.
I can't tell if I have Manx cat or a Japanese Bobtail….
The body is round.
i have a rumpy
My rumpy riser Bobby (very original I Know🙄) is a tiny little stripped menace, it has taken me almost a decade to get that cat to voluntarily seek me out for attention(he's my dad's cat), and now he terrorizes me for kisses and cuddles😹 he even flips the blankets up over my head in the middle of the night and then proceeds to fall asleep curled up on my face purring and vibrating up a storm! He's definitely a chatty little monster, and I love every spoiled little bit of him🥰✨💖
Oh same with mine she growls whenever I pick her up
Stumpkin my Manx I think is a dumpy riser
Tiara was supposed be a Manx in Sonic Xtreme.
