This may not seem like a serious question but do any of your cats fluff their tails up like a pine cone?

Mani seems to do this when he is happy getting stroked, but I thought this reaction was more for scared cats?

Lola does it too but hers isn't as impressive as Mani's, not as much fluff...

My grey cat does it when she is scared...she looks like a squirrell!

Tricky does it all the time, I always call it monkey tail cus when hes running around he looks like a little monkey

Oh well at least I know it's not just mine! It seems to be when he is being affectionate and wanting more attention, weird!

It's funny isn't it! We call it fox tail. Josie does it when she's really excited by playing, usually playing football with a wee ball of paper!

Ahh, that's soo cuteee! My Chika couldn't do it, though. Her tail is very short.

its totally normal for any cat to do this when happy/having a mad play or scared

All my cats do it very funny!

When they do that its called the Hackles.
They do this when frightened or threatened because they
are trying to look bigger than the challenger
so as to put him off. A cat would rather walk away than fight.
