Was my kittens tail broken

Question

when i got my kitten the tip of his tail is normal until you get to the tip it kinda stops than turns like the letter 7. was it broken or is it a birth defect?

thanks! :)

Answer 1

I had a siamese when I was a kid.  I thought the same thing but the vet assured me that it is quite normal in that breed.  I don't know about other breeds but I'm sure your vet could check out your kitten and let you know if he has been hurt or if he is just fine.

Answer 2

It sounds like he just has a little kink in his tail. Kittens and puppies sometimes injure their tails when they are tiny, without anyone even noticing. They just grow back that way when they heal. =) My grandma's dog has a little one too.

Answer 3

It could of been broken but most likely there is no vertebrate in that last tip of the tail.  I have a kitten with the same thing right now and it is unique.  Enjoy your kitten!!!!
