How long is your cat's tail?

Barbie's tail is 10.5" she's a small cat, so this tail looks long on her.

Enza's tail is 11.5" long. she has a long body, so her tail looks short and thick. When I can find Aggie I'll measure her tail too.

ok here we go:

Razz, the old man - 11 inches
Robbie & River (litter mates, part Siamese with a crook at the end of their tails) - 10 inches
Lucy - the woman of the house - 9.5 inches

The best cats I have ever had have all been Manx cats. Well except one beautiful little petite siamese that could hunt like crazy. If my DH ever gives in to my excessive requests for a cat I would like another Manx. I have had two stumpies and one with a half tail.

I love my Schnauzers but I really want a cat, I haven't had one in 6 years after having one all my life!

I can't imagine a cat-less life. If he can have dogs; you deserve to be able to have a couple of cats to balance the dogginess of your life.

Ummm... They are my dogs. He likes large dogs and instead he has miniature schnauzers. Heidi loves cats, they don't like her hyperness. Maggie is blind and would never know they were there!

I also want an Alpaca and I think my homeowner's association only says no horses, cows, goats or chickens.

My Dear Departed Bozo Kitty (aka the best cat on the planet, way back then anyhow) had no tail.

Since I "inherited" him (with the help of the shaman who also lived in my building - yep she "willed me" to adopt him, and clearly it worked ) at the tender age of 14 or thereabouts, I don't know what became of said tail, but my guess was he lost it somewhere along his long and adventurous life.

All he had left of his tail was a bit of a stub, and it was such a hoot when he was agitated, since that stub would spin around like a little helicopter.

Cooler, who has short hair, appears to have a 12" tail.

Fizler, who is a puffball, appears to have a 13" tail, but that last inch could be all fur. He carries his tail like Pepi Le Pew, straight up, but with the last two inches at a right angle pointing forward.

I figured out the best way to measure Cooler's tail is to get him all mad at the dog, so he holds it up straight and high, then sneak up to him with the ruler! Watch out for those claws, though!
