It isn't completely fused, just near it. And I agree, she needs to be taken to vet. Mom doesn't think she was born with the kink, but that it was from a kitten-hood injury just before we got her. I'm pretty sure her back is in pain, because she gets annoyed when we try to pet it. We can really...

Unfortunately, if I was told, I don't recall. Possible they didn't try to diagnose anything, as it's a place called "Vets for less" they don't do more than what they are required or requested. :/ EDIT: I'll ask her if they did say anything.

-^_^-  thank you for that, at least. I don't know much about the tail kink things or what effects it might have. it's been a while now, and she still doesn't like her back to even be touched. she can get aggressive too if one isn't careful.

The brushing is a good idea, yes. And as much as it sounds gross, perhaps spread some of the fur onto the furniture in the safe room. Cats identify a lot by smell, and the fur has a lot of smell in it. Did this cat come with any furniture or items of it's own? If so, then you can use that...

I do suspect from your previous post that you are right about it being stress for the female and probably the newest young one, doing the marking. My cat has been peeing in the house too, on things. It's mostly on curtains, you said, which might indicate he sees something outside he doesn't...

Urine is used to mark with smell. Your cat is probably trying to make her smell mix in with yours. Perhaps, find items of hers, like the fluffy bed you mentioned, and place it nearby where she's peeing. It doesn't actually have to be the bed, but anything that has her smell on it. It will...

Is it possible that the bag of food you bought got something in it? After buying, I mean. A smell they don't recognize or don't like can be repulsive, I would think. Please note: I am not an expert lol

My sister had her cat declawed, and while he wasn't a munchkin, he did develop highly calloused pawpads. He was an indoor cat because of that lack of front claws, and he adapted by using his teeth more. I'm sure that even if your new cat has claws, your current little one will most likely be...

The first lift in her tail there, (going from the base) is the kink. It can casually sit at a 90 degree angle, without seeming to bother her, or flop over completely when held upright. I know that cats are good at hiding pain. That's why I worry.

My mom's cat, Pepper, has had a kink in her tail since we got her. I had suggested to her that it get repaired but she says "No, it looks too cute" or something like that... Now, the cat is getting problems in her lower back, and is having difficulty making jumps where she didn't before...
