Skin-crafts don't seem too common, even in this age of self-modification/mutilation. ...and the habit of the western culture to have doors everywhere + tails? No. The whole thought makes me cringe.

...maybe it'd be different if I lived in Japan or somewhere where there aren't quite as many places to get your tail caught in. -_-;

And forgot to mention it, but she had donor cartilage for the tail and obviously the tail was immobile.

eww

Personaly I think it would kind of be useless. It would just be a dreg of flesh hanging off your ass. There would be no feeling, no movement, just a dragging whip like thing that gets in the way. As for the thing with the cat guy, here is are a couple of videos of the the girl who wrote the article as she decends into the "furry world". (I kinda feel bad for her. Why can they never do these things with more friendly-normal furs?)

I would only want a tail if I could feel and move it, as well as have the rest of my body ho I want it.

His fin being made out of Mr. Garrison's penis...

There was an announcement a few years back; made by a doctor, who claimed that surgically adding tails and other such parts would be possible within the coming years.

Of course, at first the implants and connections will be very basic, giving the owner limited use of the organ, but as time goes by, technology will allow surgions to more accurately make nerve connections between the tail and the base of the patient's spine.

I'll be back with the article link.

>>13 Let's not forget of how much it will cost. By the time most of you could pay for such a surgery and still have a job afterwards, you'll all be past your "Wanting to attach fake limbs" phase.

Let's not forget that the doctors willing to open your back up and screw around with your spinal cord are -professinals- and are very unlikely to want to muck around with things just to give you something to show off at a fur con. Also let's not forget the risk. You wanna spend life in a wheelchair if something goes wrong while they are wiring up your new tail?

Ok, so attachment is probably not the best route, considering regardless the most likely place to get a tail would be from a living animal...

What if they could turn on genes of a fetus that would make it grow a tail, possibly turn on the genes to make limbs and bodies 'furry'. That would be neat to see. I wonder what the evangelists would think XD

But then you would be bringing a (by current terms) malformed child into the world, giving them no say in how you change their body.
Im all for the eventual capabilities of gene therapy in adults and such, but sadly its quite distant from now. Especialy when you think about the fine tuneing of the genetic make up to get the desired effect. For example, you wouldnt want to just give someone a gene for a tail, because then who knows how the tail will end up looking? If you wanted to have it look, feel, be used and all of that in a certain way, then there would be a huge amount of fine tuneing involved.
*sigh* Why must I depress myself?

To answer the OP's question...it's probably been done. There is a news story about two twins...one of them had his arm cut off and surgically attached to the chest of his twin. Why? Who knows. Point is people have done just about everything so i'm sure a tail has been surgically attached before. Though I don't see the point of doing it since it wouldn't be functional, it would be a nuisance more than anything.
