Susan,
If you are afraid of genetic problems with a Manx maybe you should look into
Pixie Bobs. I believe they are a cross between a bobcat and some breed of
house cat. Anyway, I saw them on TV once and they really looked
interesting. They get very large for a house cat but are very docile and
friendly with people. But, they can jump higher and run faster than the
normal domestic cat! I would love to have one if I could find one but I
have too many little anamals as it is (9 cats, one dog).
