Tail poofing
As I mentioned in another post, Caliban often poofs his tail for little
or no reason. Lately, I've been suspecting that he is channelling Nikki in some way. I've never seen any other cat do this with their tail. Nikki used to walk about with her tail partially poofed out. She could have just the tip poofed. Or the base and the tip, while the middle was smooth. Or just the middle, and the base and the tip were smooth. Just now, I saw Caliban come running with his tail poofed again. But when I looked closer, I saw that it wasn't poofed all the way; the base was smooth. What the...? Has anyone else seen this in any cat? Now I'm waiting for Caliban to start wearing his tail along his back, like Nikki often used to. Or walk beside Mir and curl his tail around her back, like Nikki used to do with Frank. -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki.

I've not seen odd tail-poofings however two of my owners have had the ability to curl their tails into spirals! |

Sabra (RB, 2005) used to do this, although I called it "floofing" (a mix of "fluffing" and "poofing"). The only thing I could ever figure out is that he got scared one time, and floofed, and DH and I ran over and reassured him a lot, so he decided floofing was connected with getting pets. I have no idea-- lol!. It was something to see, though. He was stark black, and looked like a Halloween kitty! A couple of mine also curl their tails around the back -- Wolfie and Kate. It's so cute!
