cat with curly tail

my family owns this great cat, his name's buddy, he's a stray and we've had him for probably 4 years. when we first found him, his tail was normal, after a while it started to stand straight up, then curl into an upside down J. now, after 4 years, it curls into a complete circle! nothing seems to be wrong with his back or cause him any discomfort, has anyone ever heard of something like this?

How old was he when you first found him/when his tail first started to curl?
It could be genetic, but it could also be caused by some sort of deficiency or a problem with the bones in his tail.
At your yearly checkup (or sooner, if possible) ask the vet about it. If it is a deficiency problem, it may be treatable...however, if the bones in his tail have fused together, this can become quite painful in later years.

he was probably 6-10 months when he showed up. it probably started curling when he was almost 2. thanks for your input, i'll check it out. he has to get over to the vet in july so we'll ask about it.
