To some degree, this will depend upon the cat. Cats use their tails for balance while walking and jumping, so losing part or all of a tail may cause your cat to have trouble balancing while walking and jumping for a while. Over time, your cat will learn to compensate for the loss of his/her tail, but it probably won't have quite the same surefootedness that it had prior to the amputation.
