My son bought me this “bantam chicken” just after Mothers Day. This ‘thing’ is now a childish adult, but ‘it’ isn’t no chicken. It has blue eyes, spotted feathers. It has a small waddle growing out of each side of its face and what I call a ‘horn’ on its head, a bump that is hard. It makes this very loud and very annoying squawk. I thought maybe it was a pheasant, but the tail feathers aren’t right. I would just like to know what this “thing” is and if will it stay around the yard with the ducks and other chickens or is it going to glide away?

Is it likely my domestic (long tailed) cats will have another tailless kitten?
I have two domestic cats. Both of them were stray kittens I found and adopted. The female is auburn tabby and white and the male is a blue point with blue eyes, but is also just a domestic, not siamese or himalayan or anything. They had a litter of kittens a few months ago and one of the kittens has just a small nub for a tail. Obviously, he’s not a manx, b/c he doesn’t have any sort of bloodline or pedigree or anything, but I wondered if it’s possible one of the parents has some traces of the Manx breed in their bloodline. Either way, the female is prego AGAIN (male has his neuter appointment this Friday. Darn my procrastinating.) and I wonder if it’s likely they’ll have any more without tails. The tailless fund (‘Duck Butt’) is the sweetest, most human-attatched cat I’ve ever had. I’d be thrilled to have another one. He’s just adorable.
I’m putting forth a challenge: Only one person even ATTEMPTED to answer this question. The others rudely nagged at me about “oh the cat populace, you’re a cat murderer, blah blah” So is there anyone out there who is willing to simply answer the question? How likely is it that she’ll have another tailless kitten?
