If it's a Manx cat, it never had a tail. Do its rear legs appear to be disproportionately long for its body? (Is its butt higher than its shoulders?)

Definitely a Manx by looking at it. Clumsiness could be from anything. Being female could be in heat and reacting to the affection by salivating. But this is what every one has already said

Hope you can find her a good home. Looks cute and in need of a home.

I hate to admit it because I'm not a cat person, but I'm planning on keeping the cat. I love this little thing. It is so sweet and so smart. Only had it a week and I've already taught it to sit, stay, and a few other tricks. I tell it to give me a "high five" and it sticks its little paw out and smacks my hand. Its really cute.

When I sit down on the porch, it hops right up in my lap and goes to sleep in under a minute, purring and curling up flexing its paws, and its paws are huge for a cat this small. I think its going to be a big cat when it grows up.

And to Mickstang, yes, I think it is a manx. It likes water, and its hind legs are huge, when its walking around its all jacked up in the **** end when it stretches its legs out and acts normal. And it acts like a dog. It will pick up a huge stick, chew on it, and carry it around and want you to throw it so it can fetch. Crazy freakin' cat, never seen one act like this.

I've actually fallen for it, its a really great animal. I think I love it. Just have to get it fixed now and get its shots.

My youngest wants another cat terribly. Our last one died a few years ago. Don't know if I can tolerate another dang cat but my kids get what they want. I'm sure we will have a dang cat soon since the wife tries to convince me on it every couple days.

Hey, I have never liked cats at all, but this little lady has really charmed me. Normally I would have taken it to the pound already, but I like this cat. It is so smart and so sweet, the freakin' thing is like a dog. Unless something changes, I'm going to keep this one, might even let it live in the house (It'll have to go out to **** and pee) but everyone in the house seems to love it so far. It is so funny, it follows you around everywhere like a dog would. No matter what you do outside, it jogs along and stays with you every where you go.

Let the little guy have a critter. I think that kids that love and respect animals are better people when they grow up. I think it makes an impact on them, makes them better grown ups.

Ours was evil. Would hang out with you and rub at your legs just enough to let your guard down. Lol. I can't stand cats. Dogs are so much better animals. But that's not gonna stop us from getting another.

Oh, don't get me wrong. I'm a dog person, I love dogs and and consider myself a dog whisperer lol. I know dogs, people's dogs always gravitate to me. We're going to get another dog soon, but this cat has captivated me, I love this thing. Its so freakin' smart. And that is strange for me, I normally don't get attached to cats at all, but this one is different. It literally acts like a dog, crazy stuff.

That's what ours was like. She would walk along side of us down the street and around the block. Chase dogs out of the yard. Just couldn't keep her off the neighbors cars. Glad she died before I bought my car. Convertible tops were her favorite. Just wasn't very lovable.

One of my all-time favorite movies--and one of the most iconic pieces of art from the American civilization--is Spaceballs. The very first thing I taught my dog to do was to "gimme paw!" Awesome dog, awesome movie.

Freakin' annoying bastard. Already trying to run in the house and garage every time you open a door and wont stay away from your feet.
Did it ask "Hey Buddy - where's my dog?"

You might want to make that little Manx an outdoor cat. They are hunting and killing machines; maybe it's best to let her do her thing. Being cooped up inside with nothing to torture and maim could turn her mean. If you take her in for shots, ask the vet what he thinks. And you will definitely notice a decrease in the local mouse, gopher, mole, etc. population.

Apparently we have a Manx cat too Lee.

I always wondered why one of the cats Kristy picked up for the little ones had such weird hind legs and no tail. It does have a little nub tail but apparently that's not uncommon. It does have the funky hind legs. Until I threw it outside one day along with her black cat adopted sister it was an incredibly docile and take cat for Blaine and Bryce to carry around. They would carry it in all kinds of positions I've never known a car to ever withstand.

And then of course there's the water thing. I've seen this car sit in the rain like it did today.

And she hates Lad. Every time the get near each other she hisses at him like a Cobra. And when she cries and talks it's loud like a baby crying.

Weird weird cat.

Lazy thing would hardly open its eyes long enough for a picture.
