We found a couple of neat sites to go with our study of Storm in the Night:

Cloud Match

and Send in the Clouds

Thought you might enjoy.

A Manx Kitten

Monday, October 6th, 2008

Yes, it should not be, but we have another litter of these on the front porch.

There were three kittens to start with, but one solid gray one has died already.  We suspected that the father of the kittens was a large manx that runs around the neighborhood.  He is quite afraid and will not come close to the house if we are outside.  This litter confirmed our suspicions that he was the father, as one cat has been born with the obvious trait of being tailless.  It is not totally tailless, which is good for it since more problems can occur if there’s absolutely no tail at all.  The tail is just a little stub.

Between my neighbor and myself, we have decided that I will just take ownership of the cat and take over her vet care as well.  She’ll be going to get spayed as soon as this litter has weaned.  :)   In the meantime, we are enjoying the experience of seeing kittens born and raised.
