PoC avatarPosted on May 25, 2012 by Michael BroadDecember 9, 2017

This another amateur photograph. I chose it because it showed off the lack of tail really well. The Manx has a nice character. As for a number of other cats (Bengal, American Bobtail and more) this breed has dog like … continue reading…
