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.

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.
