    Are those manx cats? Have you noticed behavioral or ability differences compared to tailed cats?

      Yes, the three on the porch surface are all Manx and have no tails. Barely a nub! The only behavioral thing about them is that they are all extra affectionate with me and each other. Especially the two brothers (tabby & 🍊) ridiculously sweet cats. The mom can be a bit ‘prickly’ but she’s also tortie so par for the course. They have no balance issues whatsoever and they all climb trees and walk fence lines etc. I love my Manx, totally unique breed in all the best ways. From top clockwise: Ish, Yodel, Coda, Treble ❤️

        Awww thanks for the reply! They are all adorable, tell them I say pspspsps

        It’s not surprising cats will cat but it is somewhat surprising that their abilities are uninhibited because I know their tail is so vital for balance
