I was at work, and my Bf came over and said he had bad news, the neighbor had just came over and said that someone stopped and said they had hit a cat today. when they said it was a grey & white cat I knew it was my Cricket. I immediatly came home and started looking for her, we looked everywhere, and confirmed that our other kitties were ok ( we have indoor/outdoor cats, we live in rural area). We looked for almost 2 hours solid. At one point we pretty much gave up and hoped she would turn up, just as we did my BF went inside and there was cricket walking across the living room. We looked at her, she definetly had been hit. but she was walking!!
I quickly crated her and we raced off to the vets. So far they say that there doesn't seem to be internal bleeding or any broken bones, except for a tail fracture. they're keeping her there overnight and tomorrow to see how she does, along with giving her some pain meds. Her prognosis is that she will most likely need her tail amputated. there is concern that she may be incontinent too. The vet almost made it sound like euthansia might be an alternative if she is incontinent!! 
I guess she has no anal tone - meaning her anus is completely relaxed.
So my little cricket needs prayers, I really don't feel like incontinence should be a death sentence. I know she can get around fine without a tail. This is my favorite cat, my bed cat, she sleeps with me every single night. She usually doesn't leave the house. I don't know what made her venture out near the road today. Please send my little Cricket Monster prayers.
