  1. We have a bouncy, loving Manx Mix cat and the only part that bothers me is that I can't reach down and stroke him and rub him from the top of his head to the "tip" of his tail. (LOL!)  He has no "tip" to stroke.

    Ours was rescued and of a long tailed mother whose father was a manx that someone allowed to free roam.


  2. Female cats mate with many males when in heat. The father of this kitten may be manx or part manx. Yes, a litter of kittens can have more than one father.

  3. Most likely your friend's kitten is a Manx. Manx cats never have tails, but are some of the most intelligent, loving, devoted, and hilarious kitties around. They usually grow up to be large, stocky cats with big back legs, and they look like giant rabbits when they run/hop around the yard. I got my Manx, Otis, at the animal shelter when he was only 4 weeks old, and the shelter didn't know what a Manx was, either, and thought he was deformed instead! Your lucky friend has a wonderful companion. Look Manxes up on the net to find out more info about why they're such neat cats. Good luck and enjoy your little Manx girl!

  4. A single litter of kittens can have more than one father. It is possible that this kitty's dad was a manx or bob tail.

    Please get your cats spayed and neutered.

  5. mabye the father cat didnt have a tail ( mabye he was a maxie cat, cats that dont have a tail )

  6. try a  to show me a picture and i can maybe help you

  7. well, there's a certain breed of cat that doesn't have a tail (forgot what it's called though). maybe that's what she is, or she has that in her blood.

  8. Sounds like the daddy was a manx.

    If it's a she... she should be spayed.  I'm pretty sure female manx cats cannot have kittens, or they will all be still born.  

    But I'm not a vet so maybe this is just a rumour-

  9. dont worry some species of cats don't have tails

    like the Japanese bob tail cat
