I enjoyed the nice story with science and language.
"neko o kaburu" (put a cat on one's head = to feign innocence)
"attemo nakutemo neko no shippo" (have or have not, a cat's tail = doesn't matter)

Hummmm????

Somehow I must have got that "bobbed" gene, mine is short & stubby, not long & swishy!

Frank and Kirei must have gotten their avaters from the same nightclub

Pffft...his is a very unsexy Chippendale-esque dancer, whereas mine is a classy pin-up from the 40's!

That was my impression, too, except one is moving while the other isn't.

You want cats with no tails try the Isle Of Man (Small island between UK and Ireland) The manx cat is a breed that doesn't grow a tail. Smaller than your average cat they are a strain native to the island.

My cat chases his own tail, going around and around. I prefer cats with tails.

Yes, that makes for some pretty quality entertainment from mine as well.

LMAO. Forgot about this. I can't read the story now, but does it mention the other deformed tails? Loads of Japanese cats not only with 'nubs' but with also some crooked stuff going on.
