What the heck does rumpless mean?

Haha. With Manx there are different levels that the mutation can affect that cat. i think i got my chicken talk and my Manx talk crossed... I think they call they Manx ones rumpies (but I'll have to research to confirm) but basically they have no tail bones whatsoever and actually have a shortened spine. They tend to have longer back legs than front -which she does and the appearance no rear end at all due to the shortened spine. It can be associated with slot of medical issues all associated with "Manx syndrome" which I will watch closely for but that is usually seen in tailless crossed with another tailless or rumpy x rumpy which these are not.

Oh my. I don’t understand how some people can butcher names so badly!

I don’t understand it either! My name is Brianne. I’ve been called Bria, Brian, Brainy and my personal favorite, Brittany.

No no tail at all. Not even a nub.
