        Thank you! CDS brought him to us 2 days after our FIV spirit cat passed. That handsome man exploded out of the universe like he had shit to do, he nuked the rainbow bridge. It was the most intense experience. Then suddenly, we got this little guy. I think my ginger knew we needed another needy, incessantly chatty little boy.

        To be fair we had been prepared for my special little guys passing for a while. He did not suffer at all, I would never let that happen. But we knew.

          I’m sorry your ginger had to go. It sounds like he had a great life full of kitty mischief. Your new baby looks like he wants to continue the mischief legacy. He’s adorable!

            He sure is, I adore him. I think i have 3000 pictures from the last 3 months. His alter ego is commander chaos, he is a huge troublemaker but he also loves to cuddle and make biscuits in your hair until you pass out.

            Free scalp massages. Im in lol.

          Are those manx cats? Have you noticed behavioral or ability differences compared to tailed cats?

            Yes, the three on the porch surface are all Manx and have no tails. Barely a nub! The only behavioral thing about them is that they are all extra affectionate with me and each other. Especially the two brothers (tabby & 🍊) ridiculously sweet cats. The mom can be a bit ‘prickly’ but she’s also tortie so par for the course. They have no balance issues whatsoever and they all climb trees and walk fence lines etc. I love my Manx, totally unique breed in all the best ways. From top clockwise: Ish, Yodel, Coda, Treble ❤️

              Awww thanks for the reply! They are all adorable, tell them I say pspspsps

              It’s not surprising cats will cat but it is somewhat surprising that their abilities are uninhibited because I know their tail is so vital for balance
