Poll: How do your cats clean their tails?
Mine tend to either lick it as they lay it on a surface, the floor for
instance, or hold it down on the surface with a paw and clean it that way. Emil, Marina's furry nephew and Miranda, her owner, hold their tails in their paws and clean them that way. SO, how do your owners clean their tails? I know, with their tongues Matthew, but seriously, do they hold them in place, and if so what method do they use? Pam S. |

All over otherwise, yes, but the tail, no... The few times I do remember, it seemed to happen as a kind of "by the way" while playing the cello and the tail happened to be there... He wasn't holding it down, the tail was just on the surface he was sitting on and got cleaned a bit. -- Christine in Laitila, Finland christal63 (at) gmail (dot) com photos: http://s208.photobucket.com/albums/bb108/christal63/ photos: http://community.webshots.com/user/chkr63 |

I've never really noticed her paying particular attention to grooming her tail. If it gets licked incidentally while she's cleaning her hindquarters so be it. Of course every once in a while she does chase it Jill |

Pam S. Boots holds it down with a paw, which *her* Paw thinks is just insufferably cute. So cute that I usually get summoned from another room just to watch."Isn't that cute? Isn't she precious?" The boys don't clean their tails, I don't think. I've never seen it. Boots just washes and washes and washes when she settles down for a nap. Sherry |

And sometimes she seems to stop and think, and forgets her little white-socked leg is sticking in the air. It looks quite silly, but of course no one in the house is allowed to laugh at Bootygirl.

Poll: How do your cats clean their tails?
Nocturne grabs hers between both paws and puts the tip in her mouth. Then when that is clean, she grooms the length while pinned under a paw. Nox's tail is inordinately long. Smokey, I'd be surprised if he cleans it much at all. A couple licks to anywhere on his body and he's maxed out, ready to roll back into a Smokey-poke. The kittens hold it in a paw and lick it. --Fil Mine tend to either lick it as they lay it on a surface, the floor for instance, or hold it down on the surface with a paw and clean it that way.
