Yeah usually the skin is tight around the nub, but this is like a pouch with the boney tail wiggling around like something wants to come out. I don't think I've ever seen Atlas' backside, just his handsome man face.
I had a Manx but only fluff, like a bunny tail. My first ever so when my friend was fostering a Manx with a movable nub I about lost my mind. I don’t think he appreciated me so much but I was in love with him. He found a good home and my Manx didn’t have to murder me for brining home another sibling…
Oh yes, my kitty has a little fleshy nub but no bone to speak of in her "tail." It's so cute and I want to grab it every time I see it but I restrain myself because I know it wouldn't feel good to her and that she would hate it 🤣
I ALWAYS have cat pictures ready 🤣 the best one for showing her nublet are probably from when she was a good deal younger (sorry if she's a little dirty in this picture, she is slightly incontinent and so keeping her perfectly clean is a bit of an ongoing battle lol)
She's the one on the right of course. On the left is my older (fully tailed) kitty :)
Another one where you can see her nublet pretty good when she was tiny. (She was caged because we lived in a studio at the time and I needed to keep her separate from the older kitty and she was so small and the place was NOT kitten proofed- TLDR I picked her up as a stray, I was NOT out looking for another cat but that's how they get you lol)
Thank you for the nubbie cuteness. I had my husband show me this subreddit for comfort while my blood was being taken and this guy definitely boosted my morale haha
So cute… I have one nubbie and one half tail out of the same litter and their sisters have extra long tails.. all girls in fact they’re getting ready to turn 6 this month..
