Question
Well we just got a baby kitten whose mother was a stray and she has no tail!!!!
We are not sure if that is normal or not and we are thinking that this kitten is about 6 weeks old.
There is also another problem....the cats anus is leaking puss and we are afraid something may be seriously wrong.
Please reply as soon as possible with any answers or advice you may have.Thank You

Answer
Ciara,

Get that kitten to a veterinarian immediately!!!!!  Yes, something is wrong and only a veterinarian will be able to examine your kitten and get to the bottom of the problem.  It does sound serious and a 6 week old kitten will need strong medications to get over any problem it is having internally!!!!!

Best regards... Norm.
