Date:
Manx -
The Tailless Cats:
Timo and Matilda
Q: I saw your tailless cats. Why they don't have tails?
A: We decided to write a special story about
these special cats. They are rescues who came to us on January 31 this year. The
pictures in the article feature our adorable Manx siblings: Timo
(long-haired) and his sister Matilda (short-haired). They are very different in
personality and looks, but they have at least 2 things in common: lack of tail and
beautiful orange eyes. Timo is a big boy who likes to play with everybody.
Matilda is a shy miniature girl, but she likes to eat a lot... so she is a bit
chubby! She looks almost as big as her big-bone and fluffy brother.
Manx cats are a charming breed known for their lack of tails. Originating
from the Isle of Man, they have a rich history and delightful
personalities.

How to make plants green?
🍀 Pale or yellow leaves? Green veins on yellow leaves? How to improve that look? Any special fertilizer?
✅ Leaf chlorosis or in other words "iron deficiency", especially during wet rainy weather - may be not harmful to the plant but bad for the looks.
✅ This deficiency can be corrected with microelement applications - Sunshine Superfood.
✅ Use Sunshine Superfood once a week to correct the iron deficiency that usually goes away within a month.
✅ Then maintain plants health with monthly applications.
✅ It is beneficial to use microelements in combination with regular applications of health boosting fertilizer such as Sunshine Robusta.
