Manx Cats
« on: March 17, 2014, 02:28:14 PM »
If it is against the rules to advertise animals, please remove this ad.

As some of you kthe Hostile Native and I raise Manx cats. She has raised these things for years and I was always a cat hater until I spent time around these things. They have an attitude and personality like a dog. We even have a couple that are trained to play fetch. All of them will come running when you call them. We even have one that completely ruined a pup that was bred for bobcat and lion hunting. Needless to say, they are not your typical cats.

They do very well at keeping mice and rats away. When they have taken care of all of the vermin, they will show up on the back step with rabbits and birds. They like to show off and gain your approval. When they are done hunting though, they will sit on your lap or curl up and sleep next to you. Manx is a really tough and cool breed of cats and I can't say enough good about them.

We have a litter of four that will be ready to go this week. Two of them are already spoken for leaving two for somebody needing a companion or vermin control. They are gray or gray/white combos. We have the four generations of this line all running around the ranch and will take them back if they don't work for you. If you are interested, let me know. You won't be sorry.

We have both. They are kinda hard to tell apart at this age. One gal is wanting two and a niece is wanting one, so that leaves one. Nobody has picked any out yet though.

How do they get along with dogs?

Once they get a little size to them, they usually do a good job of whipping the dogs into shape. They aren't normal cats and they are pretty damn tough.

Hey Bar Bar

I can not help at this time, but if you ever get another litter, let us know then, I would like one, just not right now.
Thanks

We have a couple different momma cats, so we usually have a litter or two every year. They make great ranch cats and pets.

I'm interested, mildly.  It'd be nice to have a mouser, not sure how much I could put into another pet this year though.

We haven't even advertised with the exception of this thread and only have one left. The last several litters I have put on craigslist and they never last a day. If someone here is interested let me know and we'll see about getting it to you.

Tex,

I saw the pics on the other board you post on and if my life were different, I'd have taken one of the boys off your hands off the bat.

Super cute cats with tiger stripes, blue blue eyes and seemingly engaging personalities.

You should not have any trouble finding that last one a home, but if you do, please reach out.  I prefer indoor cats but cannot due to travel.  I may be able to help in other ways, though.

Thanks Kelly, but I don't foresee any trouble finding them all homes. I just figured I would post about them here first. If I put an ad on craigslist, the last kitten would most likely be gone within an hour. You just never know who is getting them that way though. We always tell people to bring them back if they have any trouble or a change in their life where they cant have a cat. One left yesterday and two more are leaving today, so I'm not worried about this last one. Thank you for the offer though.
