http://www.catster.com/answers/question/not_a_question_update_on_can_my_cat_survive_losing_the_tip_of_his_tail_without_surgery-31446 Thank you so much for your caring advice. I was able to get my local humane society to kick in $100 of the bill, which was fairly reasonable. The vet was willing to work out the bill in two payments. As for kitties surviving this type of accident without surgery, the vet tells me that while sometimes the bone does fall off on its own with no infection, the process is extremely painful to the cat. I'm so glad that I didn't try to wait for this outcome. My kitty feels MUCH better now.

So often we don't hear anything about how the cats we try to help make out. Thank you for posting this update, and please give your kitty ear scratches and kisses for us--and please consider joining Catster!
