I'm not sure which room this should go in, but if this is wrong...then you may move it. Anyway. My first cat I got from a shelter, Mazzy. She's about 4 years old now, I got her when she was about 6 months old. The very end of her tail is bent. Kind of like it was shut in a door. She's very sensitive about it. I thought that maybe the previous owner did something to her to cause it. But I guess I was wrong. Because she has had three litters of kittens and a couple from each litter would have the same thing. Some of them would have bent tails and some wouldn't. Does anyone know anything about this? I'm guessing it's something genetic, but I don't know.
