"And last but not least my Charlie boy(Manx with Manx syndrome)
First Pic he was a sick little guy thought i was going to loose him"

Lori I have never heard of this I use to have had several Manx growing up as a child and they are a great breed. Charlie is adorable? What are his symptoms... Poor Baby.


I have to dig up some pics I just love this idea....

Here is a little information,also this is what i went through with Charlie
Medical Conditions
The most known medical condition of Manx cats is called Manx Syndrome. It is a gap between the vertebrae, after the pelvic bone. It is a fatal defect, which is falsely believed to only be caused by the Manx gene. However, Manx syndrome is a condition that affects all breeds of cats. When the spine develops without a tail, it may shorten the spine too much, causing the gap that leads to severe spinal defects.
Manx kittens may show signs of Manx Syndrome as early as four-weeks old or as late as four-months old. It is recommended not to take home a kitten that is less than four-months old. The symptoms of Manx Syndrome include difficulty walking and excretion dysfunction.
It is most often developed by the breeding of Rumpy cats. Breeders try to breed other Manx cats that have tails in cycles with Rumpy cats, to prevent a litter being born with Manx Syndrome.

They say it is more likely for a manx cat with a "Rumpy Tail" to have manx syndrome i dont know how true it is,But Cally has no tail at all,and she is perfectly fine.And Charlie has what they call a Rumpy and he was a very sick little guy.They say it has something to do with the breeding,But who knows Neither Charlies mother or father were Manx's they both had tails.

I know its amazing,They grow to fast too,When i brough Cally home she used to get into the cereal cuboard and sit in the cereal box,Poor thing if she tried to do that now she would flatten the box.

I wish i had baby pictures of them all,I have had the worst time with digital cameras..and my computer having to be redone i have lost so many photos.Now i save everything to a disc or go in and get them developed.
