hey guys, this is my cat Bobby, and she has a deformed tail. it's short and has almost no range of movement, and it's crooked in several places. Is this a common deformity, or dangerous at all?

fine asswipe, I had to break out my shitty terrible digital camera from like 2001, and my USB floppy drive. And something seems to have gone horribly wrong with the camera. And Bobby was being really fidgety for some reason.

tail deformities are a common result of inbreeding. probably his teeth aren't as lined up as most other cats' teeth would be as well?

he's probably just the result of some brother/sister lovin.

Well, her mother is old. like, at least 20 when she had her. That cat had a litter every year, most of the cats around there were her children. so I guess it's possible one of her kids did it.

her teeth are all fine, and there's nothing wrong with her besides her tail. she's a bit easy to spook, and she's small (no smaller than her mother and siblings though), and she has a nice friendly temperament once she learns not to be scared of you. For example, she kept on purring when I opened her mouth to see if her teeth were crooked.

well there wouldn't necessarily be any other problems. the tail thing is pretty common among inbred cats though. cheetahs which have a very small gene pool frequently have tail malformations.

My cat has a slightly deformed tail (you can sort of see it in this photo; the tip is a little detatched from the rest of the tail, so it almost looks like a tassel or corkscrew). She was born with it, and it hasn't caused her any harm or anything, though she can still move it like a normal tail. It's just a genetic thing. But as far as we know she isn't a hick cat. >:|

We used to speculate that it affected her sense of balance, but as she's grown up we've found that this hasn't been the case.

Plus there are some purebreed cats where the deformed tails are a desired trait, like the Manx Cat. Intrestingly enough, the wiki article on Manxes states that cats with the type of tail that your cat has are at risk for getting a painful type of arthritis, so you might want to schedule an appointment to see a vet if you're concerned about this happening to Bobby.

Sort of related: when I was a kid and lived in Singapore we adopted a feral "drain cat" as a kitten that had a really *weird* tail. He had a little stump for a tail, but with a puff of fur just *barely* attached with some sinew. It really looked like he had a small koosh ball hanging off of his tail. o_O

What the fuck? Do you know how stressful that is for a cat's health? Stop contributing to pet overpopulation you worthless faggot and get that thing spayed.

hey guys, this is my cat spongebob, and she has a deformed body. it's cube shaped and has difficulty fitting through the cat flap. it makes a great coffeetable, however. Is this a common deformity, or dangerous? Can I breed them for profit?
