I've been looking at this site, especially Cat of the Day pics, and just happened onto the Pet Talk area. It's really nice to be able to chat with other folks who love cats as well. I'm Mom to Miss Bo, a thirteen year old tuxedo Manx. Miss Bo came to us two years ago via the Internet....we wanted to find a sweet older cat or cats, so we started to search the Internet when the local adoption center had only kittens and not older cats. We found a breeder that had two older "retired friends", show cats that needed a retirement home. For $50.00 each, we got Miss Bo and her daughter Abby, and we would do this again if we ever want another cat. Abby passed away this June due to intestinal and bladder troubles, but Miss Bo is the cutest and best cat we could ever ask for. I will be developing a roll of film this week and hope to get a picture up of her. Bo's real name is Lupracan Mus Bolero of Vagary, and she granded in regular class and in premiership. Not that this makes any difference, but Bo came to us with every good trait imaginable....doesn't claw the furniture, impeccable grooming habits, playful, affectionate, talkative, lets me clip her claws and give her baths, and a host of other wonderful attributes. I call her Miss Bo because she's such a priss, posing for the camera and grooming herself constantly.
Hi, Bos Mom, and welcome from another newcomer. I, too, have a thirteen-year-old tuxedo Manx! (And I'm a little slow in getting photos up!) I've had Stump since he was 7 -- the first cat I've ever owned, and he turned me into a cat person right away. There are so many special things about Manx cats, not the least of which is their affectionate and companiable nature. Can't wait to see your photos...and I'll work on getting some of my big guy!
