Manx Cats meet Hermit Crabs! #shorts



*the Hermit Crabs are offered new, clean, unpainted shells, and the painted shells are disposed of as soon as they become vacant…
Leroy and Winston are Manx breed cats…Manx cats are born without tails.

The Manx cat (/ˈmæŋks/, in earlier times often spelled Manks) is a breed of domestic cat (Felis catus) originating on the Isle of Man, with a naturally occurring mutation that shortens the tail. Many Manx have a small stub of a tail, but Manx cats are best known as being entirely tailless; this is the most distinguishing characteristic of the breed, along with elongated hind legs and a rounded head. Manx cats come in all coat colours and patterns, though all-white specimens are rare, and the coat range of the original stock was more limited. Long-haired variants are sometimes considered a separate breed, the Cymric. Manx are prized as skilled hunters, and thus have often been sought by farmers with rodent problems, and been a preferred ship’s cat breed. They are said to be social, tame and active. An old local term for the cats on their home island is stubbin. Manx have been exhibited in cat shows since the 1800s, with the first known breed standard published in 1903.

  1. Fearless Leroy takes the initiative to investigate that goofy racket in the Tupperware bowl, while Winston keeps a safe distance, just in case he needs to negotiate a quick escape.
