How long is your cat's tail?

[Veronica]

I was just curious, so I measured Cassie and Tucker's tails. Very hard to do BTW.

Cassie's tail is 10 inches. She has a couple of little bumps in it leading us to believe it was broken before we got her.

Tucker's tail is at least 12 inches. He was less than cooperative.

Measuring Miss Kitty's tail should be interesting. She hates having her tail touched.

Reminds me of the late, great Grey Kitty. He loved to have his tail pulled. I would grab his tail. Depending on how firmly I grabbed his tail was how hard he pulled back. If I barely had it, he would pull just hard enough to not get away, looking like he was exerting great effort.

He was so funny.

But how long are their torsos? And what is the torso to tail ratio?

Measuring their tails was hard enough. I'm not going to attempt the torso just yet.

Or...how to measure the volume of a cat http://www.evilmadscientist.com/article.php/catvolume . A couple of more small shipments from Amazon and we might have that measurement.....

You clearly have too much time on your hands now that school is out.

Today and tomorrow are recovery days. Clearly I needed some recovery. I just got up from a two hour nap. Cassie Cat did snooze with me.

My poor little kitty's don't really have tails. Mama kitty is feral and her tail is just a nub, about an inch but the fur that hangs off it is long and soft. Punk has a mangled looking crooked long nub. She was born that way but it really looks kinda twisted. She is part manx. I used to have 2 kitties with very long beautiful tails, they are both gone now and I miss stroking their tails. I love kitties.

I used to have a Maine Coon cat. His tail was longer than his body. If he liked you he would stand next to you and wrap his tail around your leg.

I do miss my Fuzz. He was the greatest cat.
