This is Ollie. Until Saturday he was called NoName, then we finally decided what to name him. Three weeks ago, I had randomly decided to stop at PetSmart to look for a rescue kitty, and there he was. It's fun having a kitten, he's doing great playing with Zoom and tearing around the house.

Ollie and Zoom have been having a great time together. Zoom is five years old now, and he needed another cat to play with and stay active. So far it's been a fun experience, they've been ripping around the house knocking stuff onto the floor and causing mayhem.

Very cute RRRR, but deep down I was hoping it was a new girl friend….
I can barely keep up with the kitty I already have!

Orange tabbies are great cats. Zoom is the smartest one we've had by far. He plays fetch with me, and other games that are awesome fun. He remembers stuff, it's nuts.

When he was about a year old, he discovered a piece of dental floss in the bathroom trash can, and played with it for days. Since then, the discarded floss has been put in the covered kitchen trash because he could eat it and create serious issues.

That hasn't kept him from looking in the can for the last four years to see if there's floss in it. He did it this morning, makes me laugh every time.

Never had cats. Our daughter’s Manx just had 9 kittens. According to our daughter, the cat only has 6 tits. Makes feeding time a bit rough. Is that typical?

I have had several Manx cats, they are smart, have lots of personality and are fantastic mousers, birders and just flat out hunters. They also like water, like will jump in the shower with you every morning, hop in bird baths, lay in gutters when it's raining etc. If you want a really great no maintencince pet keep a male and female manx kitten.
The last brother and sister Manx kittens I had were awesome. The female cat was the smartest pet I have ever had. I put collars on them and her brother ditched his in the green belt behind our home and the little female (she liked her collar) brought her brothers collar home. I wouldn't have believed it but I was sitting out back with my ex when the cat hopped over the fence with her brother collar in her moth and dropped it our feet.

I had another manx cat, orange tabby that would play fetch with pine cones. Also had another big ass male manx / maine coon mix that was an alpha male ( 28 pounds) that kicked the shit out of the neighborhood dogs and cats. I had to kick him off of dogs a couple of dogs and I got kicked out of an apartment complex once because he wouldn't let the apartment mangers pair of springer spaniels come out her front door. He would sit out side and torment her dogs.

My sister was living with me when I adopted two random rescue kittens about 3 years ago, Penny and Bella. Penny is a straight up killer / Alpha of Heinze 57 decent.

My sister had a 125 pound plus golden retriever and Penny the 3 pound kitten fucked up my sisters aggressive Corgi then decided the big dumb Golden Retriever was going to be her bitch. That kitten marched right up to the softhearted retriever and laid between his paws when he settled down in the living room on day one it made him hers. That cat did the same thing overnight for months, the dog got used to it and would wait for the cat. Penny the cat is fucking brutal, but is a cat and is super loving when she wants attention.

Manx? I had a male Manx we named Simba about 25 years ago that looks exactly like your cat. He loved laying in the street gutter when it rained and killing birds and squirrels.
I think she's a ginger tabby. She's a rescue, roaming the streets of Penticton..

I'd love it if my Manx popped out nine lookalike siblings.😇😁😇

Kittens are cool & playful but I'm not much of a cat person, most are too aloof for me.
I prefer the unconditional love a dog provides.😎

Two excellent at Thresa's Feed store out here ready for adoption. Even my crazy cat lady wife wouldn't let me take them. They'll be adopted in less that a day or two.
