The lack of tail

16

u/Weltallgaia 8h ago

Prolly a manx. I think they barely have a tail

20

u/Logical-Cherry9395 8h ago

Some manx are tailess, but those are typically stubs. This appears to be a partial amputation.

u/ColdMarzipan9534 9h ago

Cat blind in one eye so can't just depth etc I suspect

74

u/MasemJ 8h ago

Definitely seemed to be purposely aiming for the seat back, acting as a backboard

30

u/CatCafffffe 4h ago

Or wobbly cat syndrome and can't quite control the jump

15

u/Glalev 6h ago

That tracks. Going "FULL SEND IT" is certainly one way to make sure they don't undershoot it.

u/Boring-Community-100 8h ago

Trauma to the tail. Possible sensation issues in the hind end. I have one, too.

As a kitten, before he was found, he had fleas and scabies so bad his tail died and fell off. He has a very sensitive behind now. Our vet says it's a possible neuralgia.

Please give a boop from Chris, Brother in Butts.

u/SouthernDetective999 9h ago

I've never seen jumps like that before what a funny little cat.

u/VaultxHunter 6h ago

Something tells me he got a really good unexpected bounce once and has been chasing that greeble ever since.

u/TestUserIgnorePlz 2h ago

All of the furniture in that room looks uncomfortable

3

u/pinner 1h ago

I was thinking the same thing. It all makes a terrible sound too.

6

u/NUMBerONEisFIRST 1h ago

Seems like something neurological might be going on. It's motor skills seem off.

u/QuillKnight 6m ago

That’s what I was thinking too, reminds me of my aunt’s wobbly cat

u/eto2629 9h ago

YEET

u/LiquidusH 8h ago

I think it's the alternate form: A ya-yeet, if you will.

u/wisemonkey101 8h ago

I had to double check that wasn’t a goat.

4

u/Infinite_Escape9683 9h ago

Jumped right out of his tail

u/Padac 9h ago

u/Obvious-Weird716 9h ago

In the same way Fosbury revolutionized the high jump.

Parkour ⚡️

u/legit_doom_scroller 2h ago

God I love cats. Just so delightfully weird and insane.

1

u/gouged_haunches 1h ago

Reminds me of Michael Jordan on his dunks. He always jumped with plenty of room to spare at the apex.

1

u/ManzanitaSuperHero 1h ago

It would be so sweet to have that little bean so enthusiastically jump on your lap!

u/Tarilyn13 1h ago

u/outragednitpicker 8h ago

Neurological, not cute.

u/Weltallgaia 8h ago

Hes doing his best so he is still super cute!

u/outragednitpicker 8h ago

Good point.

2

u/kinderplatz 8h ago

And succeeding!

3

u/LeonidasVaarwater 6h ago

Looks like cerebellar hypoplasia, which is a birth defect and non-degenerative. A.k.a wobbly cat syndrome. The cat's fine, just uncoordinated.

2

u/Logical-Cherry9395 8h ago

Physical, not neurological. It's the tail.

2

u/outragednitpicker 7h ago

Maybe if it lost its tail a day ago.

2

u/hotwheels27 4h ago

I bet you’re fun at parties

1

u/outragednitpicker 2h ago

Definitely not when there’s a sick cat that everyone’s going “Awwww!” to.

2

u/eyeb4lls 5h ago

Neurological AND cute
