Well, to be honest, the Old Hen spotted the little critter under the picnic table out back. We went out to see what it was, and she picked it up. Sounded like a steam boiler spitting, claws out, and pissed. I snatched it from her so she wouldn't get tore up, and once I'd held it for a minute, it stopped trying to rip my hide off.
Brought it inside, tried to give it warm milk, but no deal. Waited a few and asked the wife if she had any canned food on a hunch. Little turd ate half a can before I quit putting anymore in the plate. I waited a half hour and fed her the rest. She really woofed that stuff down.

She's got no tail. No raw spot like it had been bitten off, so I think she was just born that way. Still get a hiss now and then, but for her first encounter with humans, she's pretty mellow. She's cuddles up to my back right now. I think she enjoys the heat.
I like baby anythings (except spiders).

Sounds like she picked your house. Looks like a nice grey tabby.

We had a Manx breed once and the tails can not only be short, the last few vertebra can also be deformed so their spine is vulnerable to injury that leaves them without control of their back end. That was his case, which was a shame because he had a wonderful personality.

Really for the entire thread but I just use your post to tag it.

Couple weeks ago here at the house we are all laying in bed, all the sudden we hear this God awful screeching outside. It was coming from the road runs right directly by my house with trees overhanging the road limbs about 40 ft off the ground. Sounded like nothing I've ever heard before, I grew up on a farm and I've lived in the mountains my whole life. So I grabbed my night vision scope go outside and see what it is, step daughter follows me out. I'm looking at this thing up through the night vision scope and I thought I must have been really stoned because I could have sworn I was seeing things. I pulled the scope down and adjusted it and start to look at it again through the scope and that's when my step daughter says "is that a frickin monkey"? At that point it kind of confirmed what I thought I saw the first time and again the second time, it was hard to tell because it was early into the darkness and things still seem too bright on the night vision scope but I swear it was a monkey. Not too long ago here A bunch of monkeys escaped in Pennsylvania after a truck they were being hauled in was in an accident, they say they caught them all but I'm not so sure.

Our property is very close to the mountains and a bit further on is a nature conservation area who have ongoing fence maintenance issues. Babs, buck and caracal live in the mountains but are always after an easy meal. The warties get through the park fence - they do make great cabanossi though

Hippie: Bro, it's my betcha have found a Manx cat. Fargin expen$ive. They come in all colors, just like ordinary cats. And the price range for a fargin pussycat of this type?

"The cost of a Manx kitten from reputable breeders ranges between $350 and $1,500."

 

[Unca Walt]

Dang it!! There are so many posts... but if you answer one, you find that twenty other folks have said the same thing before you.

But if you don't answer it before you read the next 200 posts, you will probably forget/get distracted...

So screw it. I am leaving my post up to join the others. At least you know you have some expensive ***** in your hot widdoo hands.
