Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2007Tails
Cat tails can be so fascinating. Not least to the cats themselves. Like most Russian Blues, Miranda has a very long tail. Lately, she has been chasing that pesky grey snake that keeps following her around. She sits in the shower stall (her favourite place - don't ask) and suddenly notices that grey snake waving about behind her again. Or she suddenly notices that it has curled around her legs and is making faces at her! So she pounces on it - almost catches it, pounces again... drat! Just now, Mir and Cal were on their Palace, Miranda in the nest and Caliban on the platform above her. He was watching Miranda over the edge while his tail was swishing about over the other edge of the platform. A grey paw shot up from the nest and bat-bat-batted the tail - or the brown stripey snake wiggling on the platform. The more she batted, the more the snake twitched. Finally Caliban had enough and turned around and batted her back. It's so fun to watch Miranda revert to kittenhood like that.  SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki.

Like > most Russian Blues, Miranda has a very long tail. Smokey is very Russian-Blue like but his tail is of fairly average length. Tyche's is a bit longer, and Kumani's is SO long that she can't keep it up straight and so it curls over at the top into a question mark! But most impressive is the tail of Nocturne which she can shove up into her mouth and chew on. --Fil > Like >> most Russian Blues, Miranda has a very long tail.

No matter what position he's in, or what kind of mood he's in, his tail seems to act independently, and will curl in many different directions and shapes. It always looks attractive, as though he's adopting various poses for a camera. As my friend put it, "He's voguing with his tail!"

I'm a fancier of striped tails, and I've got a lovely pair of banded tails, thanks to my girls. Francesca mostly holds her tail up or at most at half mast when she's strolling around in the aprtment. It's not as long as Nina's and she has better control over it. Now and then she'll move it from side to side, and she's great at lashing it when she's after her toys. =o) Melissa > Like >> most Russian Blues, Miranda has a very long tail.

Caliban's tail is short and stubby - it looks like the tip has been cut off, it just ends too suddenly. Frank had one of those perpetual motion tails. It was never completely still, not even when he was sleeping. This made it an irresistible target for little kittens. Nikki had the funniest tail. She would curl it around Frank's back if they were walking side by side, if she walked alone she would point her tail forward over her back, she would floof parts of her tail, like just the tip, or the middle, or the base and the tip, for no apparent reason. It wasn't very long, but she would often curl it in a question mark. And she would 'forget' it: http://tinyurl.com/2o3k6h http://tinyurl.com/382feu http://tinyurl.com/32pd5o Or just air it: http://tinyurl.com/d2pov SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.

Ketzl has a very "expressive" tail; it's always moving one way or another, even when he's asleep. The very tip just moves ever so slightly every so often. When he's awake, it's all over the place, including "Wap Mode." When he's stretched out cat-napping on the back of the sofa behind my head, all I have to do is say something to him (often a kind of sassy comment) and without moving a hair elsewhere, he waps me with his tail. "I heard that!" It's so funny. I guess he doesn't really *like* being called things like "Chubbo." Funny, though: to him I really think that "Fatso" and "Ketzl" sound alike. I don't get wapped when I call him Fatso. SignatureJoey DoWop Dee Remember: It is To Laugh > Cat tails can be so fascinating. Not least to the cats themselves.

Lacey chases her tail too and I always get such a laugh out of it. Barnabus, fool that he is, chases his back foot. Tonight he caught it and was chewing on it. I guess it was the first time DH had ever seen him do that. He was dumbfounded! Especially when Barnabus bit it hard enough to hurt and cried out. He's such a silly boy.

I told her you were probably busy, and she said he should gt himself a better secretary.I told her that was very rude of her and that you take good care of her wink-wink. She is calming down now after the headbutts from him. SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki.
