The Manxmouse is one-of-a-kind. HeтАЩs the strangest little mouse youтАЩll ever see, with bright blue fur, huge rabbit ears and a distinct lack of tail. But Manxmouse doesnтАЩt mind being different.
He knows that destiny awaits him, and so Manxmouse sets out on an exciting adventure. He meets tigers and hawks and dastardly pet-shop owners, but thereтАЩs someone he dreads and desires to meet more than anyone else. The someone who has been waiting for him all along... the Manx Cat.
