I just adopted a manx mix for my parents in December. He's got really long hind legs, and runs around like a speedster! He's quite sweet, very personable and friendly. Has the characteristic stump of a tail

I looked up Manx, and they just bascially said it's a genetic mutation of sorts that gives them short tails and long hind legs. Which makes me wonder if he isn't full manx? who knows. All I know is my parents adore him and that's all that matters.

I saw this thing on t.v. the other day. It's a self-cleaning litter box you attach to a tap and all the waste actually gets dissolved and flushed down the toilet or something of that kind. It looked interesting but my place isn't set up for that. Let me see if I can find a link for it.
