Mayhem, being the fluffiest one of my three, has a long fluffy tail.
And she's VERY particular about it.  She'll groom it, display it for
all to see, and if it gets out of line, she beats the snot out of it.
If i'm petting her and my hand pets her tail, she turns around
suddenly and gives me a disapproving MEOW.  "NOT THE TAIL!!"

Oh yes she loves her tail

She reminded me of how much, when she settled on my chest this
morning, facing the other way.  Trying to sleep with a fluffy tail
occasionally smacking your face isn't a great way to sleep.

Then I was on the phone with my dad and chatting away and walking
around.

Suddenly my foot comes down and i hear this "YEOW!!!"

I scream and jump up and see Mayhem running out of the room at full
speed.

I then had to explain to my dad what had happened and how i stepped on
her beautiful tail.

"Is it THAT important?" he asked.

Oh yes, I told him.  And to show how sorry i was, i fed the kitties an
hour early.

I then scritched Mayhem behind her ears and she nipped my hand, but it
seemed like she forgave me.

I'll give her extra scritches tonight.
