Since the early days of breed recognition, Manx show cats have been rumpy through stumpy specimens, with stubby and longy Manx not qualifying to be shown except in the “Any Other Variety” class. Kittens with complete tails may be born in a Manx or Manx-cross litter, having not inherited the taillessness gene at all; these are not classified as Manx cats by any breed standards, and cannot pass on the gene, since they do not possess it.

My first Sheltie had cat siblings: a Siamese and a Siberian.

Mac is apparently a Longy (or Taily).

Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!

Try saying that to Percy Jackson. You’d get knocked into the next county by a tidal wave.

Sounds like Mac’s mother was cat’s around.

Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together… mass hysteria!

I’m sure it’s been posted here before but “Manx” originally refers to something from the Isle of Man between England and Scotland.

Genius, “I know! Percy! Ha Ha! Prat!”

I’d have to say Percy is Mac’s brother in the same way that Satchel is Bucky’s bro.
