Description
An anonymous on Tumblr asked:"Albaluna, can you feel the taste of your food, when you use your tail to eat it?And does it have a personal stomach?"
The Tail contains a basic nervous system, it is controlled by the main brain but it’s own simple mind can act by itself but only for the most rudimentary reasons EG lashing out at something that could be an attacker or responding to the main body’s needs.
The tail mouth contains saliva glands and a tongue with taste buds combined with the nervous system whose nerves combine with the rest of the main nerves along the central spine will transmit taste. However because it is not the main nervous system the taste may not be as strong as the main mouth’s but still average.
It does not have a personal stomach, the main throat/gullet dissolves food on the way down similar to how the stomach does and it goes straight into the intestine. However big meals or food over-flow is transferred to a sack similar to ones birds have, where it becomes a pulp and eventually get’s transferred. I guess it’s a good thing Alba has two stomachs (Three if you count the sack).
Rarely however some hard-to-digest food chunks can be forced to the main/proper stomach. This can also be done “manually” well by the main body’s control that is.
The same is for most of her kind. I feel as though I'm forgetting something or something is worded wrong but I don't know right now It may get edited a little later on.
Alba, Amaelohians (C) Me

Well, it is logical. Unless, I thought that it has a thickness in it's spinal cord, which helps the main brain to control the tail (like some dinosaurs used to have - their brain was pretty small, so the body was mainly controlled by this additional brain). But thinking again now, it doesn't make much sense, because the thickness would make the tail be less flexible, so your version is better.
Nope, it wasn't that kind of feeling, but now I think it was just caused by the weather - it was really hot and damp at here, and absolutely no wind! The hot, damp air was just standing... Though, it's a bit better now.
