Foster mom says:  Diego is a special kitten.  He loves to be with his human family, plays like a kitten maniac with others his own age and size and gives as good as he gets!  He was born without a tail and like many Manx kittens this sweet guy has elimination problems due to a shortened spine and missing key vertebrae,  

He always tries to "go" in the litter box and is 100% with urine but he does have some fecal incontinence which means he can leave a little bit of poop in the bed when he sleeps or a bit on the floor.  All that aside, this is one people loving little boy.  He purrs when he sees you, climbs to sit on your lap or chest.  If his behind is a little dirty I wipe with a damp rag.  Seriously, not a big deal.  He will love an inside home with freedom to roam and run.  Please read up on Manx Syndrome and see if you might be his perfect family.
