hi everyone
, I reacnty fostered a cat with no tail, it only has a small stump.
it's a young Tom.
Is there anything special I can do , will it be safe out doors?

It should be okay, although not as agile I'd suspect. Funnily enough although I have 2 cats, its my dog, Boabie, who has no tale

One of my cats only has a stump for a tail and it doesn't have any impact on her - she can still run and climb with the bst of them.

Usually it's one of two things - he's actually a bob-tailed cat and was born like that or he lost part of his tail to an injury. If it doesn't appear to bother him now, it probably never will - cats are notoriously good at making up for missing parts.

Or the cat could be a Manx cross.
