We just adopted a Siamese Mix from a shelter. When we first saw him a month ago, I distinctly remember that his tail stuck straight up (he's about 4 months old). When we brought him home this week, his tail now has a nearly right-angle bend near the base. It doesn't seem to be bothering him, but we suspect that it got caught in a cage door at the shelter and they were too busy to notice. Has anyone on this list heard of being able to straighten a cat's tail after it has been broken and healed crooked? Can the crooked tail cause health problems later on? We just want to do what's best for him.
