Found kitty has a microchip. Hopefully the owners reply (and they're not the dicks on the corner who keep getting cats that keep on getting killed)
It is really skinny and seems a bit sickly.
It is definitely a manx - hardly a nubbin and long rear rabbit legs.

Itty bitty manx cat. Not sure if actual manx or if it lost its tail somehow (I didn't even see a nub, so I'm assuming manx)

Showed up at our place today. Tried searching lost pet sites, but didn't see anything.
It ran away before I could try scanning it for a chip.

#Celtic #FolkloreThursday: `The #Manx #glashtin is said to be a goblin that appears out of its aquatic habitat, to come in contact with the island folk; others claim it takes the shape of a colt, or equate it to the water horse known locally as cabyll-ushtey. Yet another source claims the glashtin was a water-bull (tarroo-ushtey in Manx), half-bovine and half-equine.
Some tales or lore recount that it has pursued after women, ending in the stock motif of escape by cutting loose the skirt-hem, although in one modern version her escape is achieved by a rooster's crowing; in that tale the glashtin pretends to be a handsome man but is betrayed by his horse-ears.`

#Celtic #FolkloreThursday: `Moore says there was a sighting of the cabyll-ushtey, a #Manx Water-Horse, in 1859 at Ballure Glen, and after being spotted people from nearby Ramsey flocked to see, but no one caught sight of it. The glen beneath the Glen Meay Waterfall was haunted by the ghost of a man who unwittingly rode on the horseback of the glashtin or cabbyl-ushtey, and was drowned at sea.
One tale recounts how a cabbyl-ushtey emerged from the Awin Dhoo (Black River) and devoured a farmer's cow, then later it took his teenaged daughter. Nevertheless, recent literature makes the cabyll-ushtey as being more benign than the Scottish Gaelic each-uisge.`

#Celtic #FolkloreThursday: `The tarroo-ushtey, the #Manx Water-Bull, is an "amphibious creature" with every semblance of a natural bull, but a cow mating with it calves only a misshapen "lump of flesh and skin without bones" and often dies giving birth. Waldron also wrote that a neighbor detected a stray bull in his herd and, suspecting it to be a Water-Bull, rounded up a group of men with pitchforks to give it chase. The beast, however, dove into a river and eluded them, bobbing its head up in mockery.`

I like it when operating systems are Manx aware!

Nua-#CelticSoulJourney: Cronk ny Arrey Laa is a hill in the south west of the Isle of Man and according to @oldweirdbritain traditionally the usual home of the #Manx weather spirit „Old Woman of Gloominess“ (aka #Caillagh Ny Groamagh).

73 years before the death of the last native speaker – #Manx activists were celebrating, the tongue was saved. The media were using it, children were picking it up, and the language was not even moribund!
