What happens if a cat’s tail is dislocated?

A dislocated cat tail causes pain, bending, and limited movement at the joint, so the cat can’t swing its tail as usual. Because of the pain and discomfort, the tail becomes unusually sensitive and the cat may become irritable and nervous, even showing aggression when touched. If you suspect a tail dislocation, take your cat to a veterinary clinic for an X-ray right away to determine the exact location and severity, then follow a treatment plan.
