    I think the boys are glad their tails don’t misbehave quite like that! It looks like that tail could cause an accident/fall!

    Tell your human thanks for the comment and I know…it’s just one of the small, daily absurd things about our workplaces!

    Pierre, my tail is like that too. Always talking back to me and I have to put a stop to it. ~Zoey

    Pierre, that’s the thing. You have to discipline it as needed. Mine is troublesome too but not as naughty as yours. xox

    You tell that naughty tail who’s boss, Pierre! Be careful though, according to Cinco (who chases and catches his tail often), it hurts to bite your own tail. I hope you don’t fall of your perch!

    That tail really is misbehaving. Ours do the same sometime, especially Two Two’s tail. But Pierre, it looks like you have a hold on the naughty tail. Take care.

    Pierre, you have RTS! (Restless Tail Syndrome) You should do what Caroline does when her RTS flairs up — stand on it!

    Tails seem to operate on their own, so they must have a brain. TBT says we should concentrate of talking to that tail-brain so we can control it better. That might have something to do with the fact that our tails whip across TBT’s face every time we are up on the tables with him.

    Pierre, this is the purrfect combination of cute and hysterical. We prefer to try to tame the tails of our housemates as opposed to our own. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
