Amputation

Amputation involves major surgery on animal; but if it removes a painful limb then it may be the best solution for your cat. Cats cope very well on three legs even without a tail and after a period of adjustment they can do everything a four-legged cat can do!(That is awesome)

Tail amputation

Cats' tails are long usually, highly mobile and prone to accidental injury, fractures, dislocations and bites. In some instances a severely damaged tail may require amputation. This is a relatively straightforward operation, and although your cat may take some time getting used to its new condition and living without one organ, tail amputation is unlikely to have a long-term impact on your cat's behavior.

Limb amputation

Limb amputation may be performed if your cat’s leg has been severely injured in the  accident or there is a tumor  on the limb, for example. Your vet will provide you with information and advice on helping your pet recover from the surgery. Although this seems a drastic measure, many cats continue their lives on three legs without any problems and continue their life normally. Of course, your cat may need to learn how to move around as he or she once did, but by passing time, most can compensate for the changes in weight distribution and learn to walk and run again.

Amputation doesn't have to be the end of everything for cats. Instead, consider it as the beginning of a new life for him, a positive option that can humanely extend cats' lives.
