Obviously Otis thinks his beloved pal has lost his mind
w/his dangerous acrobatics (Chainlink Chester! Sounds like a Rap Star)......

Rusty does that too. He used to flex his toes as if waving to me while on
his back. Don't know why he doesn't do that any more. But he still loves
a tummy rub. He even puts his paws around my hand as if to tell me to
keep rubbing.

Mine seem to have their tails waving high in the air when they're happy
and alert (that is, they might be happy curled up on the bed, but their
tails won't be in the air!)

Mandy used to sometimes carry her tail just above and parallel to her
back, with the tip pointing towards her ears.

Jazz's tail is always up with the base puffed out. :)

I also love the upside-down beckoning. :)  Betty likes to run away
from me trilling, with her tail sticking up.  She does this when she's
trying to anticipate where I'm going to make a lap, or sit down to eat
a ham sandwich.

I seem to recall that someone posted a link way back when that
purported to interpret a cat's mood from the way they held their tail.
I no longer have the link, because as I recall my girls had never read
up on proper tail sign language - what the site claimed rarely matched
my observations of LB and Sammy.

Both LB and Spot do this, while Sammy is too busy rubbing up against
me to get my attention. This morning Spot laid in front of Sammy and
rolled around on her back. Sammy approached and laid down withing a
couple feet of her and watched. I think Spot is really trying to get
LB and Sam to accept her, and the intregration is going much faster
than I feared, what with all the window hissing that went on before I
let Spot inside.

NOTE: Spot has the SOFTEST fur of any cat I've ever held. As far as
she's concerned she has already found her home, and I'm leaning in
that direction myself - though I'm sure none of you would have
suspected such a thing ;-)

One of my favorite memories of our tabby, Mac, is the way he walked on his
little white pussywillow toes and carried his candy-cane tail upright with
the top curved forward.

Mac was the homeless kitten who insisted that my husband was his human and
made a certified slave out of him.

Thanks :)
Sam and Colette (both RB) owned my sister.  After adopting a cat who was
later found to have FeLV she has continued to adopt FeLV+ kitties.  Her
current household consists of Mouse, Silver, Fang-fang and Tyra (14 yo
husky) & Tolkien (9 yo mutt).  I need to update my picures!

Well, I am from BC (Vancouver and Victoria), so I didn't really have
such freezing winters.  I'd say we used to have snow once a year and
it would last about a day.  But I did live in Yellowknife for a year,
so I know cold!  I don't miss it a bit and I can't say I miss the
dreary rain of Vancouver either.
But I also hate the heat and humidity here in Thailand.  It makes it
pretty much impossible to do anything outdoors except lie on the beach
and even that's really hot.  The water is so warm it's not even
refreshing.  The rainy season is coming and the thunderstorms do cool
things off, but then the humidity is sky high and everything goes
mouldy.
