Can We Have Tail Armor Back?

[Sigma-Astra]

What about Manx cats? no tail.

They can still have a tail, it's just a little stub which is a naturally occurring genetic mutation within the breed itself similar to the Schnauzer dog breed where they're just little "nubs", but they definitely still qualify as tails. Some can be completely tailless though as you had said earlier.

However, honestly speaking, the tail doesn't entirely control the balance of a cat either as even ones with tails can be extremely non-graceful. I think that's a false idea that the tail of a cat does more to control their grace and balance than their actual brain does.

I've owned cats all of my life, the tail helps, but in no way defines a cat's balance, they can still fall off objects and do stupid things. I have one with a brain deficiency problem actually that affects his motor capabilities, he still has a very nice long tail, unfortunately, that tail is not going to save him from falling off the bed like the doofus he is nor stop him from falling over as he walks. Tails are meant to help them balance on higher places mostly and less for walking/daily routines.
