Description I've heard that the tail curl is a good thing, but doesn't it look a bit like the "thumbs down" they (erroneously) have Roman emperor's doing at the arena? Yes, it's Twinkie Twinkletoes again.

"Talk to the tail!"

That's what I always think when they give you the tail-end, tail-up gesture. Or, they're inviting us to sniff. UCK!

They can do that repeated tail jerk that makes my mom and I think it could be a very rude word in kittytalk.

My problem is Mewle loves to have her tail base scratched and if she's walking on me she turns and point's her derrière right at my face. 

A high tail and relaxed posture supposedly is a sign of calmness.  I guess the crime of mooning doesn't exist in the cat world.

I'm sure they're inviting us to sniff, as is cat etiquette!

When Miracle Joe Boots comes in, he very politely "presents" so that each can take turns checking out his butt. *snicker*

I have somewhere on tape the pilot for a TV series titled "Claws" in which they supply voices for the cats; of course, only the audience heard them. In it, a girl complains, "This cat stuck its butt in my face!" The cat is overheard to "say", "You're welcome!" Mom and I LOVE that half-hour pilot and wish it would've been picked up as a series. Someone who knew a lot about cats and "crazy cat ladies" definitely wrote the script! The older woman lived by herself in a small house with her three cats; then, her out-of-work son-in-law, her daughter and their two children moved in with her. Naturally, they didn't like cats all that much. Her "noopy noos" were Petey, a snobbish Siamese; a yellow tom who'd been dumped by his people ("Hey! I MEANT to get out of that car!")(I don't recall his name); and Crystal, a white, long-haired, not-very-bright girl. When someone called for Crystal, the other two would tell her to act hard-to-get, but Crystal would cry, "Coming!" and run to that person. Petey would caution her: "You don't know where those hands have been!" When they were booted out of one of the rooms, the yellow tom complained, "We marked it! It's ours!" (The quotations are approximate, as I need to watch it again.)

Animals do have a different idea of polite than humans.  I wonder if I can find that show online.  It sound interesting, even if it's just an unsold pilot

He/she is questioning things is all.

He's really such a sweetie who only looks haughty at times. He likes to stay on the chair arm and gets petting and ear-scratching as we walk by; he knows that we can't resist pausing for some affection. I always say that he has an eloquent tail. It can look like a question mark!

His great tail and white socks are what helps to make him beautiful.

Yes! And, he has fur that feels so silky, much like Miracle Joe Boots'. How odd that siblings such as Twinkie, Scotty and Sabrina can have such different types of fur. When they were only a few months old, it was nearly impossible to tell Twinkie and Scotty apart except for the markings on Scotty's nose. Then, they became different colors, and Scotty's fur started thinning for some reason. As a baby, he was so fluffy!
Here's 2-month-old Butterscotch aka Scotty, who was abandoned by his mother; he was the runt of the litter.

I guess that's what genes are all about that take over huh. I think some of it has to do with diet as well or how the digestion system works. I brush mine most days to get the lose hair off so they don't shed so much and yet I've noticed the brushing does seem to affect the coat and make it better.
Lucy has never learned to like brushing where the others love it. I always pretend to Lucy how much fun this is getting brushed, and she'll take one minute of it and then issue a loud cry to tell me "I don't like this one bit" as she runs off.  She watches intently at the others that love it, and I always think this is going to work for her but it never does.
I'm not sure it was abandonment do you think?? It seems to me to be a good example of "destiny" toward you. Perhaps he was a gift from God.
