My Manx Cats
I am a cat lover as well as a dog lover, at this point I only have cats though. What I think is special about my particular cats is that they are part Manx Cat, in that they have no tails. Part Manx because their mother has a very short stub of a tail.
When I first saw the mother cat, I assumed that someone had cut off most of her tail, it was only when she gave birth to kittens on my patio did I realize that she must have ben born that way as two of her kittens had no tails and one of them had a short stub like her with the two others having normal tails.
I adopted the two with no tails, one male and one female and I like to refer to them as my “Gift Kitties”, as I think they are a gift from my Goddess, Rhiannon of the Birds.
I have named them Miss Kitty and Festus after the Gunsmoke characters; because I call all cats kitty, I thought it was a witty sort of joke to name my female cat Miss Kitty and so I decided to name the male Festus to keep it all Gunsmoke.
When they were kittens, they liked to play and they would chase each other around my bedroom at night when I was in bed, and since I have a house with raised wood floors they would make a lot of noise, when they were doing that. I call it thundering paws. I never minded though and they didn’t keep me awake either.
I miss being able to watch my cats play like that as now when they are both 4 years old they no longer play like they did when they were kittens.
Festus my male cat does like to attack wadded up paper balls and so sometimes I will wad up some notes that I no longer need and throw it on the floor for him to play with.
Now days my cats just like to be in the room that I am in, so as I am typing this in my office at home, Festus is in an open window snoozing and Miss Kitty is sitting on a near by chair grooming herself.
I am always glad of their company and I just enjoy having them with me whether it is my office or in bed with me or when they are elsewhere in my bedroom
My Kitties are very special as, I consider them to be my Gift Kitties since I feel that they were a gift from Rhiannon my personal Goddess.
