Welcome to our community,

Years ago, my Mama cat had a litter.
All of her kittens except one had tails.
I kept the kitten with no tail. She grew into a healthy, wonderful cat that I love with all of my heart.

You might want to post another thread in our site's Breeders Corner for more spacific feedback about the tail issue.

If you can, please post a photo of the bunch all together. Being a himmy owner, I am very interested in what is going on here!

Yes, it is possible. I have a British Longhair who was born to a litter where one of the kittens had no tail. (No Manxes or tailless moggies on the pedigree). It's a natural mutation. Unfortunately in this case the kitten ended up being put to sleep when she was only 7 weeks old because she had lots of issues which came with the taillessness (is that a word..?) and they weren't fixable.


Make sure you are getting the kitten from a reputable registered breeder and that the kitten is healthy before you commit to get her. A picture would be nice to see.
