Oh, well...we can't help it baby girl..have a good one guys!!

now i know

When i posted before about the Identity Crisis of my cat,I was really clueless as to why she is like that.But after some research and readings,i found this useful article that had helped me understand somehow my cat's identity.

"The Manx breed originated on the Isle of Man (hence the name), where they are common. They are called stubbin in the Manx language. They are an old breed, and tail-less cats were common on the island as long as three hundred years ago. The tail-lessness arises from a genetic mutation that became common on the island (an example of the Founder effect). The Manx tail-less gene is dominant and highly penetrant; kittens from Manx parents are generally born without any tail. Having two copies of the gene is lethal and kittens are usually spontaneously aborted before birth.[1][2] This means that tail-less cats can carry only one copy of the gene. Because of the danger of having two copies of the tail-less gene, breeders have to be careful about breeding two tail-less Manxes together.[3] Problems can be avoided by breeding tail-less cats with tailed ones and this breeding practice is responsible for the decreasing occurrence of spinal problems in recent years.

There are various legends that seek to explain why the Manx has no tail. In one of them, Noah closed the door of the ark when it began to rain and accidentally cut off the Manx's tail, who'd been playing and almost got left behind.[4] Another legend claims that the Manx is the offspring of a cat and a rabbit which is why it has no tail and rather long hind legs. In addition, they move with more of a hop than a stride, like a rabbit. This legend was further reinforced by the Cabbit myth. Recent postcards on the Isle of Man depict a cartoon scene of a cat's tail being run over and removed by a motorbike, because motorbike racing is popular on the Island."

Some of the above theories are kinda funny i think but who knows that might be the real answer to my questions.Have a nice guys!

identity crisis (??)

I am not really sure of my title as I've only seen the definition of Identity Crisis for human beings,so help me out guys.

Anyway,a month after i got here last 2006,my husband decided to get me a cat.So we went to Pet's Mart and paid $75.00USD for the adoption papers.My first choice was this one big fat orange cat but she was mean.She wouldn't let us touch her..Grumpy Cat!!yea,that's what she was.Then we saw this gray colored cat with no tail playing inside her cage.We looked at the details about her and found out that she's a Manx , 9 months old and was named Fawn (can't imagine why).


So, we brought her with us,named her TAILIE and realized so many weird things about her.First,she doesn't run instead she hops like a rabbit.Next,she plays fetch.You'll throw the ball,she'll pick it up and give it back to you like a dog.Then,when she hears the doorbell rings,she growls like a dog again.And lastly,she loves to fight.Most cats when you scuff them up a lil bit,they wont go near at you anymore but this cat she will keep on coming back.And just when you thought that the fight is over,watch your ankle or any exposed skin cause she gonna get you.She needs to have the last bite.



I can't help but wonder if we bought a cat or another dog.Hmmmm..But one thing is sure,TAILIE brings life in our house and she's our baby while waiting for a real one.
Have a good day guys.
