Hi folks! I came home a couple of days ago to find that Cleopatra's huge fluffy tail was drooping; I think it happened all of a sudden, because I didn't notice anything unusual previously.
She is a domestic longhair with a giant fluffy tail, 20-plus years old, bad kidney disease, went pretty much blind a couple months ago.
Her tail now looks like one on those horses when they make the base of the tail stand up a bit and the rest just falls downward.
I don't know if she suddenly developed some muscle weakness that caused this (she has had back-leg weakness for at least 10 years or more)?
I questioned household members, but apparently no one slammed her tail in a door (she doesn't go out anymore anyway) nor stepped on it.
Anyone had this happen to their kitty?? I haven't called the vet; she seems fine otherwise.
Thanks,
Nancy T.
