Tails
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. -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki.

I love tails too. I was just laughing at Pearl last night. She was following
me around with her tail just swishing like mad. I think she wanted me to SIT DOWN MOM! so she could sit on me. "Marina" wrote in message ... Cat tails can be so fascinating.

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 |

A friend of mine recently observed that Licky does all sorts of interesting things with his 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!" Joyce |

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. -- Joey DoWop Dee Remember: It is To Laugh |

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 |

But most impressive is the tail of Nocturne which she can shove up into her mouth and chew on. 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 -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban.
