A Plume!

Santino just keeps getting cuter and cuter! Seemingly overnight, his tail grew into a typical Balinese kitty's plume.

The story goes that it is because the breed got it's name because it carries its plumed tail upward where it waves gracefully, reminiscent of a Balinese dancer.

    They are so cute walking around with their tails up in the air! Why some cats do that and others walk around with their tails down? Does a tail in the air mean something? Wish I knew cat tail speak!

  2. Tail up means "happy", "frisky", "playful", I have read. But, the tail being carried up by Balinese cats is a breed characteristic. I think a Balinese who carries its tail down is fearful or not feeling well.....Why else would it not want to "strut it's stuff"?
