Kitty's Tail

Kitty’s Tail

What is the purpose of kitty’s tail?
If it is pulled they’ll surely squeal.
It sits and beats like pendulum
Wraps around, set on the ground.

Tails don’t do too many tricks.
Appendages, short ones fixed.
But nothing beats the feline smile
Contented kitty still flicks his tail.

Surely you don't pull his tail?(fret) I feel they "play tail" with use seeing if they can get our attention and then whip it away! Light & Love

Don't you love the way the tail seems to twitch like a muscle spasm? Their tails are fascinating and I sometimes wonder if they have conscious control over their movements. Now THIS is truly a "Cat's Tail" and one that should do well in the contest, Jeralynn.
