Hello everyone! So I have a question about my little 7-week old kitten. I took him in at only 2 days old after he was found abandoned by his mother. I have bottle fed him since then, transitioning onto wet food now. We noticed when we first got him, that the tip of his tail looked funny - slightly bent and a little puffy at the end. I'm not sure if it has been injured. As he's grown, the tail has become more and more curled under - not over like I see in all the threads and articles about so-called ringtail cats. He straightens it out some when walking, though his gate is a little funny, and even then it's still curled at the end. It's cute, but the biggest issue is he dowsnt often move it out of the way to potty, which is problematic as you can imagine. Has anyone ever seen this before? Is it some type of defect? We are also concerned as he seems so tiny next to others his age - and his tail is like a scrawny mouse tail. We just adopted a 7-8 week old rescue who is the runt of his family, and he's huge next to this guy. Any thoughts? Thank you!
