How do cats break their tails?

Answer 1

Of course not!

NEVER cut off a animals tail!

=====

The tail can be amputated if necessary successfully. Accidents happen; cat fights, doors shutting. My cat fell victim to my blinds and got her tail caught in the string that operates them, circulation was lost and half the tail had to be removed because the nerves had died and the vertebrae was broken.

Answer 2

A cat's tail is rather fragile, and can break by getting it caught somewhere such as a door, or under someone's foot. Some cats are born with kinks in their tails, but this doesn't seem to cause them pain and often can still move the tail about as well as an unbroken tail.

Depending on the break, some vets may choose to amputate part of the tail to decrease the risk of the tail getting caught again.

Answer 3

Cats can break their tails from traumatic events such as getting caught in a door, falling from a height, or being hit by a car. Additionally, rough handling or accidental pulling on the tail can also lead to a tail injury or break in cats.

Answer 5

A cat's tail does not shrink from illness. Your cat may lose his fur on the tail, but the actual tail will not shrink.
