Tale of a Tail

20130701-212728.jpg

Newton is frequenting his favorite box on the cat tree, but his fluffy tail didn’t make it into the box. His tail, unlike his brother, Pierre’s and his Cousin Earl’s, doesn’t tell him to to do bad things. Newton seems to get into plenty of naughtiness all on his own. So, this tale has a mystery ending. Is the tail just too fluffy to fit, or is there something more nefarious afoot? You tell us what you think!

    Probably doesn’t fit…that’s how it is with Giulietta. No matter how tightly she curls up, the tail slops over and often some toes with it. Purrs and hugs, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Josette

    I think in this case, it may be innocent enough. I just posted a picture of my Renn that shows his tail hanging over the side of a cat-tree platform, just minding its own business. But if the tail starts swishing back and forth, then it may have something mischievous in mind…

    We think Newton uses his fluffy tail as bait to get the other kitties within reach so he can whap them!

    I think that he is up to something – I think he has his eye on something or someone and that tail is going to start wiggling and jiggling any second!

    We think Newton is trying to tempt you to give some tunny rubbies.

    We think that tail needs a box of its own, it’s so floofy!

    Sometimes the tail just needs to be front and center!

    WE don’t think that tail is naughty at all. It is just a very pretty tail. But do you have a naughty Tale. Have a great day.

    That tail is pretty darn fluffy so we think that it just doesn’t fit!

    I would say that something is up. That tail is just too fluffy to not have something planned to get the house in an uproar. We wish our Rumpy had a tail so it would give him away.
