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.
My Manx is a stumpy he's got tuxedo coloring and is very loving though also a bit rambunctious.
Between LYNX DOMESTIC !
I love my Manx, he was a rescue when he was 9 weeks old and one of many animals in the home when the owner passed away, he's black has a longish tail with a little bend in the tip. He’s king of our home. He use to love to do this thing where he rhythmically paws the floor with both paws and sometimes with all four. always exposing his belly for rubs and never scratching us when rubbing. He’s a fairly large boy, our adorable zoomy Cabbit is not loving that we brought a feral TNR female cat we were feeding out on our porch, in. He had been out around her on his harness with us, we thought it go well, but he seems to feel he was betrayed, or maybe I’m reflecting. He just not the same happy boy he was, before we let Lily in.
I’ve had two Torties Manx, both of mine are Mens cats. Both were adopted from shelters. Neither of mine are lap cats. Both will stand on my legs while I’m sitting. One them loves chasing bottle caps, the other almost never plays, on her terms only.
Just lost my manx baby after 12 years. She was the sweetest, funniest most loving kitty ever. She was a rescue and such a sweet beautiful soul. I miss her so much.
I have two longies
I just got😂 a Manx kitten and she is definitely part dog. She is delightful. I have another domestic short hair and 2 Shitzhu/maltese dogs. They are blending so easily. Vet checked her out as 100% healthy. Definitely a smart girl. She watches TV and movement on my iPad and she types. Recommend reading ‘The Silent Miaow’ if you can find a copy. My Manx is trying to edit her own story, i think. So happy I was offered this kitty.
That explains so much
We have a 3 year old Manx and we love him and his boisterous spirit ❤❤❤
Had my manx cat, Lynx for 13 years. She is awesome.
My Manx cat is too intelligent for his own good that we’ve had to improvise 😭
He has learned:
How to open the cat food container
How to open the dog food container
How to chew open food/treat bags if left open
How to psychologically manipulate literally anyone into giving him a treat
How to wake humans up without being banished out of the room (mainly me)
Shake
Sit
Up/stand (grabs onto my hand for balance)
How to use me as transport against my will
How to wholeheartedly trust me with his safety
How to solve multiple puzzles
How to sneakily eat food without us knowing (has only done that twice.)
How to remind us to do things (if an alarm is going off, he sometimes meows at me. Loudly.)
How to be a friend
and lastly
How to find the highest point in any room or space and sit atop it.
He is a very smart boy, but I wouldn’t dare wish I didn’t have him. He’s my bestest friend and he makes my day better everyday. Even if he is a bit of a pain in the back more than sometimes.
