This is often caused by a natural genetic defect, though it can occur in some cats after it got… /removed/ (pls stop screaming at me scratch filter) through an accident. In Cawkit’s case, it’s a mutated gene that caused his bobtail. It’s not a very uncommon trait, in fact there are a lot of breeds with short tails, the most popular being the Manx cat or the American Bobtail. Cats with a bobbed tail often have balance problems that would affect a clan cat in various situations such as battles or while hunting and climbing trees since they could easily fall over and hurt themselves. Affected cats are also more likely to develop spine or hip problems like hip dysplasia. Hip dysplasia comes with various health problems such as limping and disinterest in activity. However, this disease isn’t deadly in any way and can in fact be treated, so it won’t affect Cawkit in any fatal way. I decided that he’ll limp a bit when fey get older, so if you want me to provide a bit more research regarding hip dysplasia, I’d be really open to do it. Other health issues that could be caused by a bobtail are arthritis, ur1n4ry or digestive issues and general back problems. The short tail doesn’t just only affect Cawkit’s health, but also how he expresses femself. Since cats use their tails to show emotions, it will be a lot harder for him to communicate, especially while hunting or other situations in which you aren’t able to talk. Cawkit is most likely going to use feir ears instead of his tail to show emotions, but since this is a Warrior Cats roleplay he’ll be able to make facial expressions like every other cat (e.g. smiling, nodding, etc.). If he would be a real cat, fey wouldn’t be able to do this because cats don’t usually use their facial musculature to inform others about how they feel like, except blinking slowly to show that they trust you and stuff like that. All in all, Cawkit will be able to live a fairly healthy and normal life. The bobtail will only affect feir balance and is going to make him limp from time to time, but it won’t cause extremely dangerous health issues that change a cat’s entire life such as heart issues or cancer. Also, sorry that this is so short, I didn't have a lot of time left due to my rather bad time management :skull: ⊱ sources : ⊱ aspcapetinsurance dot com ⊱ pennmedicine dot org ⊱ webmd dot com ⊱ thevetdesk dot com ⊱ Mmmmy biology teacher!
