Tuxluvr, you are so right about Manx being able to jump quite high! One leap and Miss Bo is on the kitchen counter. Two big leaps and she is in her penthouse, six feet above floor level (and she's thirteen years old!). Manx hind legs are larger than their front legs, which is why they can jump to great heights. I fell in love with Manx cats because of their looks (love those sweet round little faces) and dispositions. Bo is the perfect companion, follows me around the house like a dog, loves to be petted and played with, is never a brat or rude.
