My Cat's Tail

My Cat Sake (that's pronounced SAK-ay, like the Japanese rice wine) has a very expressive tail.  I've noticed this before, but never so much as tonight.  "Why tonight?" I can hear you ask.   Well, tonight she played the guitar.  Oh, it's not like she fretted the notes and played an AC-DC riff or Smoke on the Water or anything....I mean c'mon, she's a freaking cat.  But she did play the opening chord from "Hard Day's Night" by the Beatles.  Do you realize that means that she can play more guitar then most people on the planet!?

That's some heavy stuff, I'll tell you what.

She also uses her tail in other ways as well.   When she's really hyped up about something (usually she gets excited about chasing Sushi (um, my other cat, not the Japanese dish) around the house, or running after dust specks and such, not as it getting hyped about my latest song or anything) she'll go blazing by like 10 cats on fire and her tail will be puffed out to freaking here and sticking straight up in the air.  Oh yeah, that's another thing, I've read somewhere that when cats are proud and stuff, they stick their tails up in the air as if to say "Yo, look at me, I'm the shiz."  I've noticed that Sake walks around like that all the time.  She must really think her poop don't stink.  Well, I can assure you that it very much does stink.  A lot. 

Also, when I'm petting her and she's really digging it, and she goes into what I call "prancing" mode I've noticed that her tail will slooooooowly start to puff up.  It's really quite funny/slash/comical.

I guess that's about it for my cat's tail.  Oh yeah, it's really furry too, but I assumed that would go without saying.  But now I've said it.  Thanks for making me do that.  I'm basically a very lazy person and would prefer to type as little as possible, you know, and when you make me state the obvious like "my cat has a fuzzy tail" then that's a whole lot of extra typing that I shouldn't have to bother with.   Haeiou.  <-----That's me sighing from all the effort of all the extra typing you're making me do.  LOOK, I'M STILL TYPING!!

Well, that's it for this post.  No podcast yet.  It's basically written, and I'm going to be recording and posting it this weekend.  Oooh, feel the excitement.  I can feel it, can you feel it?  I knew ya could.

In case you're curious, besides publishing another episode of my podcast this weekend, I'm also doing a whole wack of digging in my backyard, taking a truck full of debris to the landfill, hitting the farmer's market to do  my shopping for the week (I suggest you do the same - support your local farmers and local growers!) and keeping an eye on my cat's tail to see what other fascinating tricks it's capable of.

Peace, Love and Passionate (tails)
