Tokyo Cat (Zoom in if you can't see it)

..They often have bob tails. Sometimes there's a bit of normal tail ending to blocky bit, as if the tail is folded on itself. A friend told me that when she saw the bones of her cat after cremation (it's a Japanese thing) that she saw the bones doing exactly that! Makes me wonder if it's a genetic thing about Japan housecats, or if westerners tend to straighten out kitten's tails when they're still just kittens when the bones are still flexbile.
