MMQ:
Mary I know that I have asked you for your Manx story several times & intended to add your beautiful photos of your kittens, but I either got side tracked or lost the info or some other manner of errors.
 
MARY:
OK, here goes. 
 
I am a rural mail carrier, and the last customer on my route visits with me each day. She told me that her husband had gotten a "bobtail" kitten from some people up the road.
 
MMQ:
You are located in Oregon, and I suspect that the country side that you travel through each day delivering mail is very beautiful.
 
MARY:
I asked her more questions about the kitten, and then decided that one day I would leave a note in the mailbox of the people she had gotten the kitten from, asking them to let me know the next time they had kittens available.
 
MMQ:
There are Manx found in the whole world & you were on the trail of one right on your route.

MARY:
About 3 or 4 months later they left me a note and said they had kittens. We made arrangements to go see them, and picked two out. We brought them home at six weeks, and they are our "kids". 
 
MMQ:
I love it when all the angels work to get the kittens a family to care for them, in exchange for the fun & games they bring.
 
MARY:
Not a very interesting story, and they are not registered, but that's the story.
 
MMQ:
May I respectful disagree that those sweet kittens that join our families should have a title to make them legitimate......we all know that it is the joy and happiness that these kittens bless us with, is the reason we have them....not the titles or awards or anything.  It is the times we have to sit on the floor from laughing so hard at their funny antics.  The purring in our ears at night and the happy feet that mean they are sooooo happy.
 
MARY:
Today on the route I delivered some Christmas to a place I had not been to before, other than delivering their mail. There was a gorgeous, totally black Manx cat there, about 12 weeks old ......I would say...... It needs a home!
 
MMQ:
We have loved the black Manx, they remind me of a Jungle cat with their sleek black coats.
 
MARY:
I called a friend to tell her about it. I don't know if they will take it or not, ,,,,,,but if they don't, we probably will.
 
MMQ:
A black will fit right in with your black & White and the cream kits that grace your beautiful couch.
 
MARY:
It was dumped, along with it's siblings, and they bottle fed it. It's such a gorgeous cat!
 
So, maybe there is another story....Mary
 
MMQ:
We can't wait.
