Leo was a Manx who didn’t have a tail,just a stump.
He’d hop when he ran,LOL.
He was closer to my sister and he blew hot and cold,like many cats do.
Yes, Manx have back legs which are a bit longer than their front legs, which gives them the hoppity gait.
We had a little Tabby that was a Manx we called Bunny because she hopped...
She would run straight up trees...
She was a wonder...
She had a litter of the tiniest kittens I had ever seen...
