YSaC, Vol. 1005: And they gave the dog a bone.

2011 June 3

Found two cats Manx


These two cats wandered up to my house and started terrorizing my dog. They stole his food and chased him away from his water.
If these are you cats please contact me. They are not the nicest cats around and don’t like dogs.

Drmk and I owned a Manx cat for many years. She was an absolute sweetheart, and wanted nothing more than to sit on your lap, purr, and occasionally sing opera at three o’clock in the morning. (There was some Siamese in there, too.) Manx cats are known for their even temperament, so I’m actually quite surprised that these two would….

Oh.

Erm.

I’m not sure how to break this to you, but them ain’t Manxes. Those are bobcats. You probably shouldn’t order any more office chairs from this guy.

To be fair, this could very well be a fake. The post comes from a part of the country where this is certainly possible, but that’s an improbably nice picture. If it IS a fake, I just hope this person’s home is invaded by something completely implausible. Like bandicoots. Thousands of bandicoots.

While researching* the last paragraph I found this picture, which is too adorable not to share: Baby Bandicoots! Or possibly Bandikittens! Or maybe Bandicootlings!

*note: not actually research.

Thanks for the link, Whitney!

    Come to the YSaC Zoo and see the not.a.lion, the not.a.tiger, and the pair of not.Manxes. Fun for the whole (zoologically challenged) family!

    You may be reading this wrong.

    Found two cats, Manx.

    I think Manx is being blamed for this. And, this is totally plausible. No, really…I live on a lake and bobcats are common here. They’re also pretty not afraid of humans.

    So far I think they’ve “harvested” a couple of yip-yip dogs, but really is that a loss?

    Besides, we cats are such noble and regal creatures who wouldn’t dream of stealing another’s food…..unless there’s no possibility of being caught.

      [OT] When I was about twelve I visited my aunt and uncle in California and there was this cat that hung around the neighborhood that everyone called Bob. Big guy with a short stumpy tail and tufted ears, really friendly. He was at least half if not all bobcat, but pretty sweet none the less.[/OT]

        [ot] When we first saw the feller in my avatar, we thought he was a bob cat – He was about as big as a medium size dog, huge ears, no tail and all over beige, rather like a cougar. After he ripped the screen off our window* and moved in with us, we realized he was just your average [meaning beyond fantastic] Orange Boy, slightly large. It took about a year for him to get completely clean so that you couldn’t immediately tell where he’d been lying on the bed.[/ot]

        *This is true. We came home, unlocked our door and there he was lying on the living room rug, happy to see us.

    Bobcats … or, possibly (given little tuft on end of ear, which is more pronounced in some breeds/species), lynx. I am wondering if Sparky was thinking lynx, but couldn’t quite remember. These two, unlike the Manx I have encountered, probably have tails.

    To Sparky:
    Manx = not.a.tail
    Bobcats = not.a.pet

      [wildlife corey]Wikipedia (previously described by me as an uncle prone to fits of Tourette’s and abuse by strangers) says lynx are very rare in the lower 48 states. It sites the source as the US Fish and Wildlife, who said in 2000 that lynx in the lower 48 are a threatened species. They’re primarily found in forests and tundra regions. Sparky’s post, which has been removed, is from the desert southwest. If it’s not a prank, odds are these are bobcats.[/wildlife corey]

        Depending on where in the SW, there are those who will feed the “cute widdle kittens” until they get to be bigger than their toddlers, and they have them shooed off, or get cranky when Animal Control leaves those dinky Hav-a-hart traps.

        Here in my town, the feral rescue people get far too many calls for bobcats, which are seen in sister-sister and brother-brother pairs, and are all-too aware that “people” provide food, and shelter, and scary noises for no reason at all.

          scary noises for no reason at all

          Here, have a door.

          I hiss at my youngest cat, he bolts in sheer terror from the room. I hiss at the two older cats, they look at me with an expression that suggests the thought “Poppa, have you sprung a leak?”

          I was more thinking of some people who thought the “neighbor cats” were ever so cute, and used all of the inane baby talk such do. The L Rufus in question knew no better. They even ‘played’ with that couples puppies a few times.

          But, apparently, you carry of the one toddler the one time, by the nape of the neck, and all sorts of scary loud, unreasonable, noises follow.

      Is this that same pussy that’s in the well?

      [Related Topic corey] The origins of this nursery rhyme date back to the 16th century and the era of Shakespeare who used the phrase “Ding Dong Bell” in several plays. The original lyrics of “Ding Dong Bell” actually ended with the cat being left to drown! These words were modified and the cat was saved by ‘Little Tommy Stout’ to encourage children to understand that it was unacceptable and cruel to harm any animal ‘who ne’er did any harm’. The latter version taught morality at an early age. “Ding Dong Bell” also introduces a child to onomatopoeia ( a word that sounds like its meaning) In this nursery rhyme the lyrics and words “ding dong” when pronounced convey the actual sounds!

        I don’t know if this one was in the well. I had a little pussy in a swimming pool once – it made sounds that were onomatopoeic, mostly “glug, glug.” Bit and scratched the livin’ bejesus out of me when I lifted it out. I think ‘Little Tommy Stout’ might have put it back in but, luckily for the cat, he wasn’t there.

    Yeah, I can see the problem here. Bobcats are douchebags. However, I think perhaps Sparky is possibly Cuban or Mexican and “manx” is just a colloquial part of his accent.

    I used to live on a mountain here in rural Tennessee, and we had bobcats. My neighbor shot one in his yard (and then had him stuffed and placed in his livingroom) and I would often hear them squalling at night.

    If these are you cats please contact me.

    So not only are these cats dog-bullies, but they are literate and capable of communication with humans via Craigs List?

    This is yet another sign of the end of the world.

    As a golden speckled-mackerel tabby stumpy manx, I take great offense for being lumped in with those ruffian Lynx rufus.

    As a luxuriant exemplar of all three Maneki Neko (gold, white, and black), you are all permitted to be penitent in your applications for sycophancy–treats are highly recommended.

          I just realize that I need to use more specialty letters when I name my cats.

          Now to combine something that uses a lot of them:

          Well, the Simpson’s was on, it was the episode was the one where Lisa was in IKEA, and mockskanderhoovrian was being bandied about.

          HRH wandered in, displeased to not be the center of all attention everywhere.

          Given that his name for the v-e-t was Loki (and emulates being a Muse of joy and mischief), an IKEAnäme as title seemed apt.

          Given that HRH is 16+” shoulders to hips (and was then a muscular 20#), what HRH wanted was a good thing for the rest of us to want. We are a leaner 15-16; which makes us bendier and more likely to insist on a sample, the better to Eat All The Things.

          (Note, best to have a nice simple name for the v-e-t; makes filling in the appointment book a great deal simpler.)

    OT

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

    At 3:30pm MT today I have a very important interview that, should I succeed, would give me an awesome position as what could basically be referred to as a Microbiologist but more specifically be referred to as Lab Monkey. I don’t want to ‘ef this one up. So I’m currently panicking. I’ll probably not be back tonight. That is all.

      I was a Lab Monkey for a while, not a horrible gig. But make sure you join the union or else they shove scary things in your holes. And make you wear lipstick and eyeliner.

      For real, best of luck. Interviews and job hunting suck. I’d rather be in Hell with my back broke (an old southern saying my Grannie monkey used to use).

    These are the only sort of cats that should be “outside” cats. Especially in places like Arizona where leaving a kitty outside may result in you finding half of that kitty later. The coyotes see them as tasty snacks.

      Excellent point, K.

      One would have to be careful even with a Savannah (if only for not having the neighbors shoot same).

    Achtung; Attennzione; Attendez-vous; etc.

    Today, Saturday 4 June is “Hug your Cat Day.”

    We will presume Felis Catus–unless one has a special bond with Lynx Rufus, Felis Silvestrus, Leptailurus Serval, Leopardus Pardalis or the like, in which case, one will exercise due care.

    (If, in fact, your “cat” is a Didelphis virginiana, then, by all means, hug it, caress it, and call it George.)

    Since they posed so nicely for the picture, these may actually be the nicest [bob]cats around.

    For an odd reversal, I work at a camp where a Manx cat has roamed around campus for years. He’s a tuxedo cat and sweet as can be, but the kids all see him and ask “is that a bobcat?” No. He really, really isn’t. I worry that the poster of this ad is a former student who somehow took the “no, that’s a Manx” answer and applied it to all tailless felines.

    I don’t doubt this at all. Morons get big cats as pets all over the country and THEN figure out how dumb of an idea it was. They don’t contact a zoo or anything intelligent like that, they just open the door and let ’em go.

    I don’t think these are manx at all. These beauties are young bobcats or lynxes. Be careful and call the authorities to have the proper experts pick them up.
