Do people dock the tails of cats?

Question

Just saw a tailless cat and it was not a Manx cat as I am in Spain

Answer 1

Manx are not the only cats that have naturally short tails. There is a rare cat breed known as a "Pixie Bob" that also has a short tail. Normally a person will not dock a tail on a cat unless it is for a medical reason.  

Answer 2

i had a manx and she was born like that but i have heard of people taking off their cats tails but it is so bad because it cuts off all their nerves that help them not be constipated

Answer 3

Minxes, and wild cats. For example scottish wild cats

Answer 4

NO. It may be a birth defect.

Answer 5

no!

Answer 6

noway

Answer 7

Yeah, the answer to your question is NO, unless there is a medical problem and it is beneficial to the quality of life to the cat to have the tail removed.  There are a number of cats (not Manx) that are born with out a tail as a birth defect, but as a rule, cats do not have their tails docked for cosmetic purposes.

Answer 8

NO
