Which of these facts about cat tails did you find the most surprising? 🐈
The P., thank you for loving kitty and not punish him despite breaking your tv and tearing up your clothes 😊great video, learned a lot, thanks🤟, I love cats😺♥️
We had a litter of 4…3 had deformed tails not normal. At one week old.The one whose cat was in a U shape concerned me the most. Being from the old school I put a tight rubber band on one on a week the tail fell off. He is still around and healthy. I've notice he doesn't jump from heights. The other 2 both got sick and died. I feel I saved his life. I named him Pigeon as he is Grey and white tuxedo.
Need too pump that tail to make it look bigger!
Ffffffffffh!
I agree about the swishing of the tail. I have a 90% Siamese and she is a piece of work. Not only does she talk to me but boy that tail goes a mile a minute when she wants my attention and I ignore her . I understand every move she makes especially with her tail
My cat is a siamese/manx mix, and his tail is about the size of your thumb, and hes absoloutely perfectly handsome.
No story or anything, hes just the single best cat in my whole house, and no, your cat cant come over.

Thank you so much.
A cat's tail kind of looks to me to be a bit prehensile like a monkey
My cat broke his tail. For health reasons, it was amputated. Cost $800. The vet thought it would affect his balance, but so far, so good. He's an active, healthy 18-pounder.😂
I just wanted to add that when a cats tale is lashing, it can also mean that they are very excited, for example, when my boys are watching birds through the bay window.
I think the lower tail and neutral tail also occurs when the cat goes into hunting mode.
don't find these facts to be surprising…learned them by just being around cats and learning their language – their tail language and their voice language
I'm fond of cats…was around them a lot in my younger days.
I worked with a guy who when he was upset with you would pretend to be holding a cat, pretend to wind up its tail as if it was a wind- up lever and then pretend to throw it on you –
even though I loved cats I thought that was very funny – always made me laugh.
I consider a cats tail their subconscious mind or the extension of it. Easy to tell what my cats are thinking and what they are going to do by their tails, like when the tail is wrapped around my leg 🐈
My shorthair always walks around with his tail up like a question mark. My long hair has a big fluffy tail like a squirrel's tail and she's always putting it right in my face.
I'm looking to get another cat. We lost our Kannika earlier this year. And I'm not sure I want, except I'm partial to Black and tuxedo cats. Just a personal preference, and I've ended up with one or the other throughout my life. So when looking around for a feline family member, who will be an indoor only cat, how do you discern the personality of a cat quickly on first meeting? Is this possible?
I did not want to say this but I have 7 spirit cats I got after my dad passed on one thing is one cat boomer is if he laps his tail on you it means big trouble but only happend once the (only) reason I can talk about them is that I can prove him in a minute so in my case you are never to even get the slightest brush ………or else .
I had a flatmate in uni who had a kitten that broke his tail. It was at a 90 degree angle 2 or 3 inches from his butt, so no doubt it was broken. The vet wanted to amputate it but he refused – which turned out, at least in his case to be the right thing to do (or rather not do). With no splinting or first aid at all it straightened up and healed on its own to be fully flexible, straight and with normal functioning. Not sure it this was because it was so young or whether adult cats can do this as well.
Just as with their claws, a functioning tail is extremely important to cats. You could survive, for example, despite a missing arm or leg. But that doesn't meant the loss is not hugely significant to you.
Broken tails can cause problems, even serious ones, while healing. But if it were my cat, I'd wait and watch carefully for problems and not allow an amputation unless one arose that could not be treated without amputation.
My boy Scotty has a little kink at the tip of hid tail- don't know if he was born that way or if he was injured when he was a tiny kitten (he was 5 months old when we found each other)
Ehhh.. Have you ever seen a Leopard?? (7:40)
We have a beautiful Maine coon..he is four years old. They are a fantastic breed..
it is a commonly repeated myth that cats use their tails for balance, if that were true then lynx and bob cats wouldn't have the agility to catch rabbits, their primary prey, and the weight of the tail is absolutely insignificant in the sense of a counter balance.
my cat always wraps her tail around herself when sleeping… she never did differently
I refer to what they do with their tails as "tail talk," and I understand some of the basic vocabulary. Two comments….Have you noticed when they attack each other, in play (especially kittens), they swish their tails back & forth, vigorously? I think that's part of their practice for potential future situations involving combat. Of course, when they stalk, preparing to pounce, their tails stick out, horizontally. Also, some of them wiggle their tail tips, while eating. Could that be a decoy, distracting a potential competitor away from the food?
Now I'm a little surprised that you said that only domestic cats hold their tails upright.
Some years ago there was a long-running documentary series called "Big Cat Diary". One of the stars of this series was a cheetah called Half Tail (she'd had an accident).
The film makers claimed that when cheetahs were not hunting they would go around with their tails up (and the other savannah animals recognised that the cheetah was not looking for dinner and largely ignored them) but that when the cheetahs' tails were down, that was a sign that the cheetah wanted to something to eat. Because Half Tail didn't have the regular length of appendage, the forest animals couldn't read the signs properly and so they'd be yarrking and squawking any time they saw her, even when her short tail was raised in the air.
That said, many years ago, I had a surprisingly wild cat and she rarely walked around with her tail in the air. It definitely did swish menacingly if she felt that I was trying to thwart her from some mischief. (And yes, she was one of the best cats ever.)
Counter balance is not what it's doing. We had a farm cat that lost its tail. He had no problems. And bobcats dont have tails.
I just adopted two 8 week old sisters from SPCA Sacramento. One was born with an adorable little crook at the end of her tail. It is “evened out” by the radar dishes she calls ears.
I think most vertebrates have a tail. I read that in mice if the tail doesn't develop, nigher do the kidneys, so it doesn't survive, so maybe the Manx trait also means something else inside missing if both parents have the gene.
My cat Kojak threw his tail out. He couldn't move it. I held it at the base and he gave a jerk forward. I felt the pop. He was fine then.
Mi interessa molto scoprire la relazione tra la posizione della coda e lo stato d' animo del gatto….lo trovo molto interessante!
Grazie come sempre per i video che ci mandi, sempre molto interessanti
E complimenti a Cosmo che gran bel ragazzo…fai il bravo piccolo..😂
Grande gesto quello di averlo adottato da un rifugio..
Grazie ❤
Wild Cats never walk with their tail up because they can never be happy enough to do it, they know they will never be a house cat and live the great life.
I had a Siamese named Dinsdale (see my avatar) who liked to be "spanked". I would spank him at the base of his tail, on the top side just above his back. He'd stand on his tip toes while I did it, and bristle out the fur at the base of his tail. He passed away in 2022 at the age of 16.
The Reersø-cat in Denmark do not have tails either
0:33 if it wasn’t for that cat’s tail, you couldn’t tell if it was coming or going! 😂
I dunno how important a cat's tail is to balance. Manx cats have bobbed tails and they're no less agile that any other breed of cat. So, seriously, how important can a cat's tail be if a cat that doesn't have one to speak of is just as agile as one that does? That doesn't make sense to me. It sounds like one of those ideas that has been assumed to be true just because it sounds logical, when in fact no one has ever run any experiments to verify that particular hypothesis.
I love your channel! Very interesting video today! ❤🐱❤
My husband knocked a stool over and cut our cats tail half off. Vet could not reattach it.
My cat wags his tail like a dog when he is very happy. He slapps my face while getting pet…he wags his tail when he gets treats and when you call him for a treat.
👍🏻
I've always thought that when a cat tail is upright and curled at the end, it looked like a ?.
Cosmo! 😻
It's their mood ring.
