Yes, a cat with a broken tail can still hunt, though its ability may be affected depending on the severity of the injury. Cats rely primarily on their keen senses, agility, and stealth rather than their tails for hunting. While a tail helps with balance and communication, many cats can adapt and continue to catch prey even with a tail injury. However, they might take extra care or alter their hunting techniques to compensate.
