    Yes to a degree but they learn to adjust and do fine. I have one who has a very short bob tail she was born that way she was a rescue kitty and she is doing great. So do not worry.

            I think cars use their tails as language.  Also there is a breed of cat with a stubby tail. I hope your kitty is getting better
