    do cats use their tails for balance

    my poor puss oliver had his tail caught in a door, the vet had to amputate most of it, he's o.k  but  someone told me that cats balance themselves with their tail, is this correct

    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.

    yes "men to when hurt by the wife I cry she smiles

    Poor puss oliver ,,     . Yes, cats use their tails to balance themselves.

    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
