マンクス キャットを飼うべきではない 7 つの理由

you’re mid

I have owned Manx cats for 25 years. They’re wonderful. Never had a better friend. Caring, smart, cuddly and happy. They’re the best pet, ever. Easy grooming. They let me know if there is spiders or anything in the house. Great with my son! I find this very misleading to people who haven’t owned one. Great company and thanks.. I’ll stick with my manxs

You just described traits that are true of most cats. Cats should be indoor pets, so the hunting thing isn’t an issue, they will bring you “dead” toys. My 19 year old Manx died 1 year ago today. He was a great cat, independent, playful, loyal. He did get a bit grumpy as he got older, most likely because of arthritis. I miss him so much.

i love my 3 year old manx baby 🐱 the love of my life 🐈🐈

I’ve had a male Manx cat for a few months now. He just showed up to my house one day and before I didn’t really know much about cats without any tails. When I saw a little shadow under the car i said “is that a dog??” But then a Manx cat appeared 😆.

I fed him once and that was it! He became ours! I decided to name him Nubs because his tail looked like a nub. Pretty soon that’s what everyone started to call him. 🤣 Nubs is a very vocal cat and is such a lap kitty! He’ll jump on your lap and just snuggle himself into you, he’s perfect. Manx cats are the best.

what no!!!!! i love manxs. i found a stray cat who was pregnant. She gave me 4 new babies. they are so sweet and I feel forever blessed , I added three new babies to the household . They were amazing with the babies and played fetch with them. They have passed away and we miss them every day

@ me watching this video while my big ol' Manx of 9 years sleeps on my foot.

I don't agree with most of these points. We own a manx cat and he's the most wonderful cat we have. He's very social, loves a cuddle, has never bitten, raised a claw or even gotten angry with us despite us worming him and using flee medicine. Of all the breeds we've owned, the manx is by far the best.

I love mine. He even brings his girlfriend over late at night through the cat door. He is fixed, but still a TOM CAT

our manx tried for 10 years to be let in the house, so near christmas we gave up. she was destined to live a long life, she was the healthiest cat id ever seen, manx or not. I don’t like talking about her in the past tense, but its been 2 months and 5/6 days since I let her out that night. i don’t even know if ill be able to adopt another cat again and there hasn’t been a single day where I haven’t thought of her and the others since august

I have had two manxes in the past. The first one {a tailed manx} died at three years old from "Feline Infectious Peritonitis". The second one died at 10 years old from liver cancer. In my opinion, the problem is with pure breeds…. too much inbreeding. Every other cat {four other cats} have all been "mongrel cats" have died at 20 years old, 16 years old, and two are currently living and somewhat overweight.

PS: Cats are carnivores, if a cat runs out of food for three days, they start dying.
PPS: Dogs are omnivores and can last for about a month without food.

I do love the Manxes, though, they are super-cool. Since they have no tails, I call them ground-cats since the tail acts as a counterbalance

PPPS: The "tailed manx" is necessary for breeding, otherwise the manx-proper will have spinal problems.

Manx cats are the best cat ever I own one and he’s very cuddly he never Brong a rodent or any bug at the house he’s a very special cat to me His name is socks and he’s the best he is a tabby and he’s very cuddly and caring and also he’s very fat😂😂😂

I disagree with your video I had a manx cat that was an indoor cat and she was the best friend ever Fed her high quality food gave her lots of love a place to sleep where she felt safe and warm. Had sweetie for 14 years. Sadly I had to put her down after she had a stroke

Mostly true, but not entirely. (Long detailed info) I’ve had my pure bred Manx for over 10 yrs now. He’s a “lucky” tailed cat so I got him for free (Craigslist ad). If you don’t have tailed cats in the litter, usually the whole litter dies, so you always want to breed a tailed Manx with a tailless and never 2 tailless. The tailed cats in a new litter are the “lucky” cats as they are a sign the litter will survive.

When I got him I was told he’d be extremely active, needing the ability to run throughout life, will take down animals his own size or bigger when hunting (think large rabbits), and generally have the temperament of a dog. The breeder said he will run through adulthood and it’s really obvious when they are on their way out because their activity level drops off drastically.

He is extremely loyal to the point of heeling and coming when called and generally following me everywhere. I do buy midrange food, but also fed him raw when he was younger. Mostly grain-free, but he’ll tolerate some grains.

He molts 2x/year and needs brushing weekly otherwise.
I never give him baths unless he got into something. Baths are not good for their skin. Cats clean themselves and he is very anal about it.

He is EXTREMELY social and will visit all the neighbors looking to say hi and get some attention or take a nap on their couch.

I’ve lived in a million places and in a van and he tolerates changes extremely well. He loves living in the van and being able to free roam. He is never further than ear-shot away and always knows where home base is. I pop the “doghouse” (interior engine compartment) and he can fit between the engine and exhaust to get in and out, so I don’t have to leave a door open. We even go hiking together and he insists on walking himself even at 8 miles.

I trained him to be on a leash from the day I got him ~ 5wks old. He needs a LOT of play time if he can’t go outside (ie in the winter snow time). He has been known to be so stubborn he’ll hike in the snow. He definitely gets cabin fever in the middle of winter.

He’s learned 11 tricks and he picks them up very quickly. Usually in a single session. I also trained him to be “gentle” and not use his claws in playtime. He does very well with children or drunk people (same thing).

Ideally he’d be able to run outside every day. Their body is built to run, with long back legs and short front legs, allowing them to get close to the ground when they run. Like a cheetah. They top out at 30 mph so they need to be able to go off leash or have an indoor running track.

He is also very vocal and will talk to me and tell me when he needs or wants things. That prob should have been in the list instead of not tolerating changes. Not all cats are highly vocal.

He’s definitely a high maintenance animal and not one to be with other pets, just because of the level of attention they demand. That said, he gets along with dogs well, but has only had 2 other cat friends. His favorite friends are foxes.

I didn’t get him fixed til after his 1st bday and he is able to have dry food left out with no weight issue. Wet food is another story… I think fixing them later is a prob best for not having to worry about weight issues. Idk that it’s scientific, but it’s worked so far!

Other health problems possible (that should have been in the list instead of baths 🙄) include poor dental health (he’s lost all his K9s due to genetic conditions) and kidney disease, which we’ve managed to evade so far, despite him having a miniature kidney on one side. He costs me $500-800/yr in vets bills. Not enough for insurance, but enough to hurt.

Could give you 😺 100 reasons why you SHOULD get a Manx cat! Have owned 9 of them since the 1970s. Very affectionate, sweet, loyal. Compared to many other breeds, I'd give the Manx 5 Stars ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

Mine litterally just lays around all day

I have a 9 year old Manx and he is wonderful! Every thing this video said is false! My manx is perfect! We have lost two homes, one from a flood and the other from a hurricane and my manx was very relaxed thru the transition of finding a new home. He does not shed, he does not bring me dead animals, he loves to relax at home and he loves me. He does act more like a dog and does not meow. He makes little sounds when he wants attention. He has not tail so sometimes stool gets stuck in his long hair by his bottom. All I have to do is pull it off with toilet paper, he is used to having this done. He is very fluffy with a silky black fur and his hind legs look like a rabbit's legs. His spine is deformed so his back is weirdly curved by this tail.

Lol, my little manx Tommiebug used to catch mice and skin them alive. It was horrifying but other than that she honestly was one of the sweetest funniest cats that ive ever had.

Everything mentioned is true of every healthy and active cat. This is stupid.

I got a Manx by accident… for months I thought somebody had ripped his little tail off! Nope, just a Manx. Why some idiot left their 1500 dollar kitten in a shelter is still a mystery to me, he’s such a good dude.

This is only for pure manx breeds. My manx bengal has taken in many stray kittens simply to teach them to hunt.
