What's your comment to a cat without a tail?

There are Japanese bobtails, who have short tails like yours. There are Manx who come in several styles. Some have full long tails, some have no tails, even a dimple where the tail should be, and then there are "stubbies" who have a few vertebra of the tail. I've never had a tailless cat, I really like cats with tails - and my cats are really good at killing mice & rats!

I think a cat without a tail might look a little odd, but it's no less a cat than a cat with a tail. I had a friend when I lived in Virginia who had a cat with no tail. I called her Toby the Tailless Wonder cat. She had no balance problems or anything like that.

I have not seen such cat,but I think it is really weird that a cat does not have a tail.but the image of cat below your discussion is very lovely.

Aww he's got a little tail it looks like (or is it a she?) When I was younger my family had a cat without a tail at all. It didn't even have a little stub of a tail like it looks like your cat does. Our cat without a tail was named "Puffer" Because he was just a big puffball of fur. He also had two brothers and a sister. One of his brothers and his sister had normal sized tails (Tigger and Claude) and the other brother that was my cousins, had a little stub of a tail (also..looks like even your cats stub is longer than this cats was) and his name was...can you guess? Stubs! I think it's a little weird when you don't see a cat without a tail because it's so common to see them. It's like seeing a human without an arm or a leg. But it happens and I don't think it really means anything. There are some breeds of cats that don't actually have much of a tail normally.

hi there youless yes my friend has a cat with no tail his name is bobby one day i will meet that cat with no tail i have never seen it i have two cats and three kittens but i need to give them away cause its hard for me to look after them if i dont find homes for them i will give it to the rspca and they can give homes for them thanks for this discussion

A cat is a cat.. a tail shouldn't matter. .

There are a few breeds where the cat doesn't have tails and it's completely normal. As to whether or not they can catch mice better than a cat with a tail, I don't know. I know that, without at tail, they have some disadvantages with balance and running. Cats without tail tend to hop like bunnies. But, that might not stop them from catching mice.

Hey yl, We had those running wild in my neighborhood growing up we called 'em manx cats probably supposed to be spelled minx but the way we pronounced it sounds like a instead of i +'s 2 U :D

I just presume that it is a Manx Cat which are born with no tail, or that maybe it had an accident and it had to be removed. I have never thought about any meanings to that.

He is good cat

more than calling it a cat without a tail, i think u should call it a cat with a stumpy tail. thats a genetic inheritance. its seen more in dogs. and theres nothing different in such animals, positive or negative.
