Tails!

When roughly does a MC kitten tail become really big, like a feather duster!

Leo has a proper brush but the other two are not quite there yet. I expect Leo's to grow in length certainly, but it's already big and solid and quite magnificent

Rasputin's is getting there and he's about 7.5 months.

Attached are a few pictures of our 10 month old , Tia. Her tail is bigger than the three older cats!
Next to her in the one shot is Pomeroy. He is 4 years old and we thought he had a big tail until Tia's started to sprout when she was about 8 months old.

Samantha had a pretty buffed out tail when I got her at 6 months old, when she was full grown her tail was exactly as long as her body from her neck to her rump.

I wish I had some pictures of her right after she got back from the groomer, she was bathed and sweet smelling and she just glowed.

Samantha was a Blue Torbie or patched tabby , her sister was a black tortoiseshell or tortie, Samantha looked different colors from different angles and she had the most precious blaze down her nose.
The flash of the camera makes her tabby markings disappear.
She was my BFF and I miss her terribly.

She was 16 years old and lived a wonderful life, never sick or wanted for anything Papa could provide her but you sure miss them when they're gone.

All of my cats have had beautiful tails by the time they were eight months,Bruce & Pansy have kept the fullness all the time,Merlyn lost his around eighteen months of age & it didn't decide to re appear until he was four but now it is fuller than ever & both the babes ended up with pipe cleaners a year ago but are now starting to look as if things could be improving again,they will be four at the end of the year so I am hoping that will be the magicol time again as with Merlyn.
Just find it weird how some loose the fullness at some point & some don't,I think both Bruce & Merl would be happy with less though it takes them both a hell of a long time to preen all of that attatchment....!
