Indoor cats tend to be paired with one or more cat/s. This means, should it be passed, instead of one cat having a slow murderous disease, many will. Indoor/Outdoor cats can pass it on through neighborhood travel. Outdoor cats do the same. To save a cat it must be quarantined. If the cat was previously an outdoor or indoor/outdoor cat this can cause depression to the point of self starvation. Should it live with others you put them at risk.

The only sure way to save an FIV infected cat, and to keep the infection from passing on, is to quarantine that individual cat alone in a house. Since most owners aren't willing to give away one cat when the other will soon experience pain, they decide on murder. Honestly, since you never know how sick a cat is really feeling (cats tend to accept constant inflicting pain and give off minimal signs), it's better to end the suffering before it begins.

By the way, it's euthanized, not euthanised.

Japanese Bobtail kittens are never born tailless, neither are they born with full tails. Their tails are clearly visible, composed of one or more curves, angles, or kinks or any combination thereof. The genetic factor that has created the Japanese Bobtail is completely different from the Manx. Unlike the Manx, the two breeds are not related in any way. Not only are their tails different, but their body types are both completely opposite.

Manx cats have varying tail lengths, but are best known for being completely tailless. I think examples of the varying tail lengths and breeds characteristics should be shown. I can provide as many pictures as needed to post to this article that represents what an actual Manx cat is known and described to look like.

http://www.cfainc.org/breeds/profiles/manx.html

The Manx tailless gene is dominant, kittens tails that inherit it can vary from a full tail, a short tail, a rise (known as a “rumpy riser”), or no tail (“rumpies”) at all. Aside from being tailless, the Manx is also known for its robust and rounded appearance. This breed is described as being drawn with a series of circles. It has a very round head and rounded cheeks that give it a jowly appearance; this is seen even more so in the male cat than in the female.
