Tale of Tail




I don't know if it is said worldwide, but in Japan, 
I hear that kitties born with hooked tail bring happiness.


Hooked tail... Or kinked? Crooked? Curled? I don't
know the proper word, but it is a tail which is not straight.


You can? Niko?


Oh, it is very neatly folded. Well done, Niko.


You can? Goro?


Oh...it reminds me of a candy swirl. Mmm!

You boys bring me happiness every day :-)

Long time ago, when I was still living in Japan,
I had a girl who had a hooked tail.


She was born prematurely and I thought she 
would not make it. But she grew big and beautiful.

She sure brought me a lot of happiness.

  5. Maybe that is why Japenese Bobtail cats are so popular there! They all have little, kinked tails. Mine just waves around.

  18. Goodness,we have a kitty here who has a crook in his tail. We think it was broken when he was born. Glad to know it will bring us happiness or at least bring him happiness. Hope you have a great week end.

  19. We are so behind commenting. I thought of y'all during the storms and glad you all are OK. Those two boys sure bring me smiles.
    I haven't seen any updates lately but Google has been such a mess too.
    I wish I knew about Kassey's tail, if it was cut or some accident.

  22. You two sure have talented tails! We liked your story, it is very sweet. Our special girl Inka (who has passed on) had a crooked tail and she did bring us lots of happiness.

  23. That's interesting! I have a cat with a hooked tail, or more accurately, it seems to be broken in a couple places. He was a rescue kitty, so we can't know for sure.
