My cat's tail was caught in a door. Why can't she move it now?

Question

My cat, Poof's tail came in between a door, she pulled it hard to set it free. Thankfully the door opened, I checked her tail, it was bloody and a little skin was peeled off but she could move it so I let it be. Few days later, the wound disappeared. A few weeks later she can't move her tail at all. Although she seems to be eating well, she's sitting and behaving correctly. Please bear in mind she is a wild cat and sometimes picks fights with other cats. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 7 lbs

Unfortunately it seems as her tail is limp, which means there is likely to be a fracture of the tail. this is not something that can be repaired, the only medical solution for this condition is tail amputation which will need to be done at some point.
