Never seen such a site as a curly tail on a cat but, I have just that! :tounge2: The vet nor anyone else seems to know the cause so I thought I would post a note and picture and see if anyone here recognizes this behavior or what could possibly be the cause.
Thank you for posting a reply fireshoes. I have seen the tail laid on the back. I've always been told that the tail was used for balance and that is why I am so puzzled on this curled tail.
Pinky climbs ladders and gets up high on many things, she doesn't seem to be out of balance so, guess I'll keep watching the posts til I find someone that may have a clue to the cause.
Hi! I'm very curious about this too! It's funny because my husband keeps telling me that at one of the apartment complexes he delivers to their is a cat with a curly tail (just like Pinky's). I want to know why?
Ring tails they are called Ring tails- there is a breeder working with them now - she has a web site but I am sorry I am not home but at work and can't remeber the address - will post it later tonight for you to seee them - Linda
The only thing I didn't agree with is the woman breeding the brother and sister (Max Tail & Michelle). I don't know if breeders do that ocassionally to get a trait or what but I always thought that caused problems.
Hey I also looked it up and just received an email back from Susan. She has doubts right now that the genetics are the same based on pictures but I have not sent her any details.
I will post more info as I get it.
Looks more promising than anything I have seen so far though.
