So, two nights ago my cat came home with about 2-3 cm of bone from the tip of the tail out, like he degloved it. He is castrated but he likes to go outside anyway. Thing is, I live in a small town and there're no emergencies vet, so I waited until first hour in the morning and took him, they amputated those 3 cm of his tail and I took him home, not before asking him if there was any special cares I should have with it (never had a cat with a chirurgical operation), he told me "no, only have some patience, he can get to his normal life tomorrow".
Last night I saw him sleeping and took off to the gym, one hour after it I came home just to find EVERYTHING covered in blood: couch, clothes, matress, walls; the little guy removed the stiches and there was blood everywhere, I took off to the pharmacy several times trying to find something to stop the blood, nothing worked. Finally I googled and make him a e-collar with some cardboard and put it in the bathroom to sleep (this was 3 AM, spend 5 hours with the cat trying to stop the bleeding).
I'm waiting for the fucking veterinary to open up, but I'm scared for the little guy, he lost a lot of blood and I don't know what special cares do I have to take with him so he'll have a full recovery.
tl;dr: cat tail partially amputated, he removed stiches

Update: my father just took him to the vet. He didn't wanted me to come because he said I would want to punch the vet or something.

What did you expect, letting your cat roam outside unattended? One day he won't even come back, and when that happens please don't get a new one.

The little guy is OK, they putted back the stiches and we putted an e-collar to him so he won't take them off again.

My cat is 6 years old and he always roam outside. He just does that, and all his life has done it. I just had to walk him with a leash because he wanted to go outside. My other cat, in the other side, hates going outside.

I've taken in feral cats and I've been able to get them to live comfortably inside. Letting a cat free roam is neglectful and reckless. Your cat only needs to get hit by a car or attacked by another animal once to never make it back home
