Look what the cat dragged home...

His bloody tail

Hes been missing in action for a couple of days and her indoors was starting to get worried about him,hes always been a scrapper and methinks he met his match,or something.In he strolled dragging the end of his tail and planted his arse in front of the fire like nothings wrong

What to do,snip it off i guess,could take him to the vet but hes only going to charge me $ for doing the same thing eh.Any cat people got any advice,could nick it off then dip it in disinfectant

buggered if i am holding him when it gets dipped though.

Just a thought,maybe this guy finally did it.

Who knows what people do mate,hes lost a bit of ear and a few other scraps so maybe a dog,who knows.Will take him to the vets first thing in the morning and get the end of it removed,could do it myself but as the mrs says theres probaly infection etc so best to get him treated by them.

most cats would see a dog off, they dont like getting their nose ripped up.

I doubt if it needs removed ... splash a bit of Detol on it ... the fur will grow back. (unless the tail bone is broken, in which case the feeling in the end will have gone already)

Eh?Mate the tail bones gone,the things hanging there by a thin piece of gristle (or something)

Penny for a pound the vet will just splash on some anti-septic and snip off the hanging-off bit.

Yea agreed,when we got him from the SPCA he was kept apart from the other cats as he wanted to fight everything,hes well staunch,to be honest ive no idea what happened and never will.Funny as fuck as when he walked in my mate said "fuck me,whats the other fella look like"

SHARP dressmaking (dont tell she who owns them first) shears will do the trick ... do it quickly and you MAY avoid getting clawed ... but I doubt that will be an issue ...

Looks like it may have had its tail run over man,
My vet happens to live up the road from me, and he has run his cat over twice now.. but once he ran over its tail, it looked very similar I would suggest going to the vet anyway, Just in case, may need some antibiotics etc

Would go with something like that mate but hes got a bit of his ear missing and a mark on his jaw.Dunno eh,never will.Will get him sorted.

Presumably with your last run-in with a vet, you will be avoiding the place?

Oh yah, Gang banged by the sounds of it haha.
My folks used to have a scrapper it used to come home coughing up multi coloured fur, missing half of its coat, come home one day missing a foot, a few months later it came home with a possum.. Cats are fucking mad mate.
