Wobbleknobby was named because
his tail looks like a knob and he wobbles it all the time. He works at Smokehouse
Antiques in Tillamook, Oregon. Wobbleknobby was found by the owner of Rainy
Day Books (who had recently been given Webster
by the owner of Smokehouse Antiques) in 1997 at about 6 months old. He doesn't
like to have his tail touched, but he loves to play with toys the owner calls
"squinky toys" (they are stretchable children's bracelets). That's
how he got his nickname "Squinks." He is very agile and can jump anywhere
in the store without knocking anything down. He likes to be up high and look
down on the customers. He often plays "Vanna" by standing in front
of an item and wiggling his little tail. He is a big, strapping Manx, weighing
in at 18½ pounds!
NOTE: Wobbleknobby has retired and is now the supervisor
of an entire household.
