I am considering adopting a Manx kitten from a rescue organization. He's still too young to meet friends yet, but I wanted to look into the breed before we got to that point and fell in love. He is a nubbie. I keep on reading horror story after horror story of shorter lifespans and incontience issues. We lost the kitten in my profile picture last year to FLUTD. We got him through the first blockage, but the second was too much for the poor guy. I know the Manx issues are not the same, but I am a bit worried about their issues and putting my kids through another short lifespan. Are there good stories out there of healthy Manx kitties? And what would you all look for before adopting one? Should I have him see my vet? The rescue is a good one, but I'm still worried.
