Cats are born with kinks, which is not surprising

Cats are born with kinks in tail? It is because their tails have a special structure called the orthologic circuit. It helps cats better control their body balance and center of gravity when hunting, climbing and jumping.

The natural situation of kinking on a cat's tail is the terminal or the back end. The two bones cannot be bent on one horizontal plane, causing natural kinking. Most kinking situations are caused by acquired reasons. For example, when a cat is pressed to its tail after birth and cannot be bent. The most serious situation is the stick tail, which is visually straight and cannot be bent.

Cats are born with tail kinks

Congenital situation:

The congenital tail kinks can be seen mainly at the terminal or at the back end. The two bones are on a horizontal plane and cannot be bent.

After-time situation:

Most cats have kinks on their tails. If the cats are pressed at birth, they will also be unable to bend. This kind of kink is not allowed.

The most serious case is the stick tail, which can be visually directly seen that it cannot be bent. This situation has certain defects.

Whether the tail kink will be inherited from the next generation

Under normal circumstances, the tail kink will not be inherited from the next generation. Two cats with normal tails can also give birth to kinks. And if you want to really play with blood during the breeding process, you will definitely participate in the scientific reproduction and matching method of close relatives. In order to copy the pattern, there will be a replica matching method. Once this matching method occurs, it is impossible for cats with kinks to be completely avoided, but there is a difference between high and low probability.
