Sarah the half-tailed cat
This is Sarah, one of the cats that belongs to my in-laws. She had a full tail once. It was mangled when she showed up in their yard, so they took her to the vet who recommended amputation. Now she has half of a tail. (I think it’s the right half to have.)
We saw her for the first time about a year ago when her tail was still bandaged up. It’s healed nicely, but still looks a little weird. I did not ask for her permission before taking this photo, perhaps explaining her look.
The dog next door has just a stump tail, so he wags his entire butt in compensation. I think it’s pretty funny.
‘Sarah The Half-tailed Cat.” It’s like a song just waiting to be written.
I just had to make up a lolcat for this pic:
“I wantz my tailz bak!”
Ok, ok, so it’s not that great, but it was fun!
Because of the neat shadow cast, the photo also resembles one of those Star Wars Episode 1 posters: “If u don’t gimme bak my tailz, I swear I turning into Darf Vadurrr!”
