Is Vino a Rumpy?

I was looking at his pictures and I noticed that he seems to have a bit
more of a tail than our local Manx. Our local Manx had no tail at all
and seemed to have more of a ruff than Vino. His owners gave it a
haircut though and it never quite grew back the same.

We were never sure if it was a male or a female it was so furry.
Although we think it was female, as it did not appreciate our girls.

No, Vino's not a Manx. He's half Japanese Bobtail and half Birman. With
Japanese Bobtails, you only need one parent to have the gene and all the
kittens have short tails. Vino's was the shortest out of his litter though.
There were 2 black boys, one had a kinky tail with 2 bends, it looked like a
little piggy tail, and one had about 2 inches of tail, straight. Then there
was a grey girl who had a tad more than Vino. Vino's is just a nub, I'd say
about 1 cm. But he can move it, it's very cute when his butt fur wiggles.
His butt fur is longer than the rest of his fur and he can fluff it up like
a bunny tail. He doesn't like me feeling around back there though and I
have to admit it feels weird to touch the nub.

Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr. I have an alarm clock that's covered
in fur!
