Viva the stray cat mama showed up at Elyce's door steps and gave birth to five beautiful little fuzzy balls. One of them is called Manny who looks almost identical to two of his littermates. They were named Manny, Moe and Jack after The Pep Boys.

Manny has reddish stripes on his back. That's how Elyce tells him apart. "He frequently likes to sleep on his back, exposing his striped, chubby tummy," said Elyce.
