ZNOTAILZ MANX IN THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC TV SPECIAL~!
(posted: 01/01/2011)
ZNOTAILZ MANX are so proud to share our excitement with all.
We were invited to join other Feline Breeds at the CA Davis Campus, for the Program filmng for National Geographic's 'EXPLORER SCIENCE OF CATS', which was first aired on the National Geographic TV Channel on Tuesday June 10th '08.
There are two videos [trailers], watch both:
GRAND CHAMPION BECKN MAGIC OF ZNOTAILZ & ZNOTAILZ TRUE BLUE represented the Manx Breed & were included in the photos of the domestic Feline Breeds that are presented in this project.
You can see them at 1.05 &1.06 & 1.07
They are other places in the Special also.
Interesting side note:
DNA was collected from all the cats that participated in the NG filming. This DNA was used in the study about the origin of domesticated felines being done at Davis.
Also an update on the research for the Origin of the Cat:
This episode features the domestic cat research of Leslie A. Lyons PhD on feline genetics at the laboratory at UC Davis, with contributions of collaborators from Portugal, Italy, Egypt and all over the world, and also starring the beautiful cat breeds of the world. The story highlights the cat domestication and breed diversity research of genetics students Monika Lipinski and Jennifer Kurushima.
The featured research has been supported in part by donations and grants provided by the NIH-NCRR RR016094, The UC Davis Center for Companion Animal Health, the National Geographic Society, the Winn Feline Foundation, Illumina, Inc., and Qiagen.
Best regards,

A 2010 edition DVD of Nora's YouTube videos in full-size (for the big screen) is now available on Amazon.com at http://bit.ly/6jwCNd

 MANX LITTERS THIS YEAR!
(posted: 01/01/2020)
This is our Black & White Tuxedo Manx male "Toones"
looking through the hole...................................>
Companion-Sidekick- Personal Assistant:
"You're working on the computer? Let me press the keys. Reading the paper? I'll hold the pages down for you. Watching TV? I'll just plop in your lap so you can pet me. I love an orderly household, don't you? I'll help you with all your chores, and I'll help you relax when we're done. You'll wonder how you ever managed without me."
Pictured in our photo gallery
STRONG, HEALTHY, ROBUST MANX KITTENS OFTEN READY FOR THEIR VENTURE INTO THIS BIG WONDERFUL WORLD. Our kitties are our pets first and foremost. They sleep in our beds, come running upon hearing water running in the bath or shower, play a good game of fetch, nap in the sink, curl up on the couch next to us and are always under foot in the kitchen. Our Manx are raised with plenty of love and affection, and are extremely well socialized with children and adults alike.
This is one of the OLDEST NATURAL cat breed in the world [NOT man-made].
This particular bloodline of cats evolved on the ISLE OF MAN in the IRISH SEA .
BRAVE-BOLD-ADVENTURERS best describes their personalities which are unlike any other cat breed.
They also have the most unique conversational voice which no other breed makes. It is like a cross between a purr and the sound a bird makes, a kind of soft "trill" or "chirpping" mostly used to converse with their youngsters or loved ones. One of their most amusing sounds is like a squirrel chattering -when the Manx is terribly excited about a bird or squirrel outside their window.
I can say that anyone that has ever had a Manx, especially a ZNoTailz Manx, not only would find it hard to live without one, but most find it hard to have only one!
Another very special trait of the Manx which makes them different from some modern day Breeds is their way of bonding with their family, having a special unique bond with each member. Knowing what everyone likes best, & caters to that person's fancy. Willing to fetch their special toy for you. Manx are always smiling, willing to have a good romp. Always look up, when missing your Manx, because they love to find "high places" to view their domain~! But snuggling close when you are resting, sharing your favorite pillow & blanket.
They are so very rare that there are only a few countries in the world that have these Registered Manx and we are so proud to be perpetuating this magnificent Breed for others to enjoy. They live to be as old as 20 years old and they never appear to be old staying young looking and active. So there is a LONG committment when you bring a ZNoTailz Manx into your family.
You can find out more about this unique breed, considered to be one of the oldest NATURAL [Not man made] evolving cat breed in the world

WE LOVE TO SHOW PICTURES OF THE KITTENS IN THE PHOTO GALLERY UNDER "AVAILABLE & RETIRED" or "2011 Kittens"
Here
BUT SOME ARE SPOKEN FOR.....KEEP UP YOUR CORRESPONDENCE WITH ME TO FIND OUT WHEN WE HAVE KITTENS AVAILABLE.
When I do not have a Manx available I can recommend Manx from my close friends that I partner with on Manx. Be sure to ask~!
We have the next show kitten all lined up for the fall & winter shows.
She is a Blue Patch McTabby & White kitten, watch for her~!:
"Too Sweet" will be going to Jo Graziano -to be shown on the East Coast.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Margaret [memma] Messer Quick
