Hey there, waggiedog--I'm so glad you're here! Yes, the Manx breed is usually more or less tailless, from a mere bob to a full-length tail in a litter. Charlie has just a tiny tail, a bit longer than Breed Standards specifies, but from a health perspective is better off. Two Manx cats are unlikely to breed successfully. I find them fascinating.

The Isle of Mann also intrigues me. I've been there, I think, three times. There was a small island off it's east coast (and I do mean a small island) that was for sale when I was in college. I could have financed it. I often think about that place now, and "what if."

I'm much better now with my pharmacist's help ... and my "gang of three" on PC who held my hand so faithfully throughout my crisis. This is the place to be! ... & I highly recommend therapy cats or dogs, etc, to anyone interested. Mine reigns supreme over my T & both pdocs!! Scritches to your waggie.
