Bones definitely has full use of her tail! She likes to wag it like a dog
when she is happy. In the picture of her under the cat tree, is actually IS
wagging it right then, you just can't tell cause it's a still picture.
My Doobie cat has the same tail you are speaking of though. His tail was
slammed in a heavy double-hung window (the balance weight
malfunctioned) when he was about a year old, and it slammed down so solidly
on it that he was TRAPPED, and flinging himself madly, swinging by his poor
tail, screaming bloody murder. I ran in and opened the window as fast as I
could, and he ran and hid. He never lost any use of his bowels, and it didn't
appear broken (not crooked, anyways), so I never took him to the vet at the
time, but I am convinced he at least dislocate it, if not fracture it a little.
He has NEVER moved his tail since. He can lift it from the base, like you said,
but it doesn't curl, bend, or flick at all, ever. It doesn't seem to bother him
at all, and he can still pull it up along his body when he sleeps if he tries,
but usually it just hangs limp where ever it falls, and drags behind him on the
ground when he walks (or about an inch off the ground, if he's feeling frisky).
He doesn't seem to CARE much where it is, unless another cat is attacking it,
then he lifts it up REAL quickly!
