I've not seen odd tail-poofings however two of my owners have had the
ability to curl their tails into spirals!

Sabra (RB, 2005) used to do this, although I called it "floofing" (a
mix of "fluffing" and "poofing"). The only thing I could ever figure
out is that he got scared one time, and floofed, and DH and I ran over
and reassured him a lot, so he decided floofing was connected with
getting pets. I have no idea-- lol!. It was something to see,
though. He was stark black, and looked like a Halloween kitty!
A couple of mine also curl their tails around the back -- Wolfie and
Kate. It's so cute!

I knew there was a better term out there. I think we've had this
discussion before, Ginger-lyn. :o)'Floofing' is an excellent term. I can
imagine that Sabra would have been a sight to see. What makes Caliban's
floofs so spectacular is that his tail becomes almost as thick as his
(not unfluffy) body. That is, when he floofs his whole tail.

I always thought it was very touching, when Nikki used to do that.
