- My fiance's parents have a kitten (around 8 months old now) that
- doesn't realize her tail is attached. She will sit on the foot rest
- of a reclining chair, see the tail come up from under the foot rest
- and attack it. She's managed to bite herself several times now. When
- she does manage it, she lets out a tortured little scream then looks
- around to see who is responsible for her being in pain! (She then
- scratches whomever is near by...)
-
- Has anyone else ever had a cat not know she has a tail, and are there
- any suggestions for teaching her that it's hers??
