    Jewel's Strange Tail...

    Have you ever seen a cat hold its tail so far forward? This cat almost always folds its tail forward like this.



    Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers

    Silly Jewel! I've never seen anything like that! Wonder if it was broken at some point, and now it is like that as a result? Its pretty at any rate.

    RB Brighteyes did that a lot. It is something you don't see too much in cats. Maybe she thinks she is part dog?

    NOPERS! Never seen a kitty do that before.
    Guess Jewel is just showing her different purr-sonality.
    Ask your vet about microchipping. ~ It could have saved Kuhio's life.

    My Chipper holds his tail forward at times also, but not as forward as what Jewels does with her tail. That is awesome and she is a very pretty girl.

    Amy hold her tail like that a LOT... The vet checked her back and tail real good the first time he saw her. There is a defect in the spine (I think he said) that causes them to hold that tail up like that. He felt up her spine and said he didn't feel that defect on Amy so he Xrayed her and it didn't show up in that either... Hers has to do with her Neroulogical disorder he decided.

    My Abigail has a tail that curls up and around like a pig's tail. I'll try to get a picture of it. And it's always been that way.

    My sister's boy Gnocchi holds his tail like that, folded over his back. He is a gray kitty, too. He's never had an injury; he just has always held it that way.

    She is beautiful!!!

    Jazz will hold her tail like that sometimes. My other two always have their tails straight out or even dragging almost but Jazz hold that tail high and sometimes curled up her back like that. I've noticed she does it less with age.

    Remember Me?

    Pippin's tail does this - we get even more curlies in it when its chow time! Our vet had no clue why, but thought it was very cute!
    Maybe there's some Husky in the blood?
