And well looking at the xray film..the vet was right..it was broken into 3 actually.. worst of all to put it down.. as per 7 years of dealing with rescued cats.. i still have problems going over putting to sleep situation.

Also, I wonder if Aaron, the original poster, is asking about "fixing" a cat's tail that is crooked as a result of injury, or is kinked naturally (ekor kontot).
I have two cats. One has a long, straight tail, and the other a kinky, bobbed tail resembling a furry paperclip. I read once that the cat uses its tail to balance during leaps. Really? My long-tailed cat misses her target, breaks glasses, knocks things over and generally wreaks havoc whenever she jumps from one place to another. The cat with the short, kinked tail has never broken anything, always landing most gracefully.
Especially if you are considering this for cosmetic reasons, Aaron, please re-think!
