So, what exactly is a Manxsal?
A Sal without a tail.
Me!
Sal is short for my name, Sally. Manx is for the 2 Manx cats I had at the time I made the name up for another site years ago, Bandit and Penny (That's them in the photo). Penny died in 2003 at 7 yrs old from cancer & Bandit just recently passed away at 14 years old.

What Does A Manxsal Love?
I love animals. Right now I have 7 cats. I didn't plan on having that many, somehow it just happened.
4 of my cats, Ziggy, Gizzy, Ozzy, and Missy, were orphaned at 3-4 weeks so I took them in and bottle fed them. They are 5 years old now. Buffy, who is their aunt and 6 years old, was abandoned by her mother when she was 2-3 weeks old.
Smokey and Amber are both about 4 years old. Amber was rescued from her owner who was going to shoot her.
In the past I've raised orphaned wild rabbits, pigeons, and Ringneck Pheasants. I've bred Zebra Finches and Cockatiels. I've also had Budgies and Red Headed Gouldian Finches (my favorite birds).

Manxsal looks like my kitty. Did your manx kitties ever chirp? Not chatter or coo like when they see a bird, but on top of regular purring, one of mine makes a chirping sound only when she's wildly content.
