Fallston’s fluffy friends: street cat to classy cat

Meet Manny!

Chloe McCarthy, Staff Reporter

In August of 2019, Ms. Breidenbaugh was walking out of the dorm she was staying in for a Summer Orchestra Festival when she and her friends heard a noise coming from her friend’s car engine. After a bit of investigating, they found that it was a cat tucked in the engine bay. After a bit, Ms. Breidenbaugh and her friends were able to get it out. Ever since then Manny and Ms. Breidenbaugh have been inseparable.  

She decided to name him Mansfield after the university that hosted the orchestra festival, which was eventually shortened to Manny. He also now has been given the nicknames Monster Manny and Muffin Manny. He is part Maine Coon and part tabby cat. 

Manny loves hanging with his family and even has separation issues. He will meow very loudly if he feels that he is too far from his family. He also enjoys catnip, any toys with feathers and giving lick-kisses to Ms. Breidenbaugh.
