Oh damn… damage to their tail is basically spinal injury and can affect toileting and walking, that’s right.
I have my fingers crossed for you but if it gets to that point Kmart sells Anko brand pet nappies in different sizes and Big W sells pet wheelchairs.
With orange kittens driving, your house will turn into the Grand Prix
The damage is mostly near the tip, not the base, but the right leg is an added factor - gonna get him checked, hopefully they were just two seperate injuries. We've already noticed he doesn't leap as far as Sam, but like i said, no biggie to us.
We literally have a wraparound hallway, so yeah, grand prix track.
Cerys is being rather excited-tail, but on alert and loses it a bit if something else goes on when researching these wee beasties. we have them in the dining room, which has (closed) frosted doors to the lounge - they know each other is there, they can dimly see each other, they're alert , but not alarmed. Ears forward, slight question mark tails, she even showed them her arse so 🤞🤞
