Is it kind for me to say that I think it is cruel to keep breeding from those tail-less cats? |

Her kittens had all kinds of weird tails. One had a half-length tail that was bent 90 degrees in the middle. None of them seemed to have any genetic weakness, but then again, they were mixed breed.
My favorite cat I've had was the orange tabby manx I mentioned earlier, She had 3 distinct meows, one of which was a lot like a dog bark. |

hehe Roux is cute. So is Truffles. And, much to my parents'(and boyfriend's) dismay, Wusthof is growing on me too. I've gotten other suggestions including: Mocha, Brie, Biscotti, and a few very ridiculous ones that should not even be mentioned
("Come here Giblet/scallop/mousse"... nope can't see it.)
It won't be as soon as I thought, it may be in April that I get her/him.
Can't use Mocha, the parents used to have a cat named: Mocha Lee Jones, the demon kitty from H***. Yup, full name. Poor cat, I can only hope mine has a sense of humor if he's named Sir Wusthof.

Their balance is right on, the only thing is that when cats get irritated, they flick their tails. My last Manx flicked her rear end for she had no tail to flick. It was adorable.
Her name was Bianca Jaguar. Yes, those of you that caught it, it's a play on names for Bianca Jagger. My dad has no room to talk if I name my cat after a knife.

Schwanzlos means tail-less in German. Sounds dignified, too. But hard to pronounce without spitting. If your cat spits at you, time to say the full name.

All bad and spoiled.... | Oh, there will be quite a few pictures. I'm very excited, although the date keeps getting postponed. I also like Brie, but I think it will have Tabby markings so brie wouldn't quite fit. So it's looking like truffles if it's a girl, Sir Wusthof if it's a male.
The boyfriend wants the name to be able to switch to nicknames so he went and looked up truffles: truffle butter, truffle oil, chocolate truffle, black truffle, truffle salt, truffle shuffle (  ), and others so he likes truffle. Wusthof was harder but he decided he could call him Wustifer (like Lucifer) since cats don't seem to like him.
Sushi is cute though, I'll have to play around with it. 
Mire Paw is also something to look into.
Thank you guys, I knew someone would understand the need to have a culinary cat.

How about...."Mits on Plaice"? (mise en place)
I like Wusthof and Truffles
Cats are great in kitchens - you get lots of free legs rubs every day and its somebody non-judgemental to talk with

Claws in the leg more like it. My cat got excited any time I opened a can and she mostly ate dry food from a bag. But if it was Tuna, she got way excited because I'd let her like any liquid and remnants from the can.
