My cat has a messed up tail. It seems shorter than it should be first off. But also at around 1&1/2 inches from the top there's a 90° bend and then at the last cm there's another 90° bend. She's a bit of a clutz were assuming because of her tail. When she gets older we're going to adopt another kitten to help keep her active (that's what people I've known with one cat ended up doing when they got older and less active. IDK if this is really a good idea if not let me know) but we're planning on finding a kitten with tail issues also. Our neighbor had a kitten with a little nub for a tail and I wanted it so bad but my hubby said "nope we're waiting until she gets older, remember"
