What is the function of a cat’s tail?

1. Adjust body balance: A cat’s tail can be used to coordinate other parts of the body, allowing the cat to move more flexibly and adjust the body’s balance. For example, if a cat jumps from a high place, it will be easily injured, so the tail will act as a buffer.
2. Drive away mosquitoes: In hot summer, there are many mosquitoes, and cats can achieve the purpose of driving away mosquitoes by constantly wagging their tails.
3. Express emotions: A cat’s tail can be used as a way to express emotions. When a cat’s tail droops, it means that the cat is afraid. When a cat's tail looks vertical, it means the cat likes you very much. If the cat's tail is flat on the ground and shaking relatively little, it may mean that the cat is in a bad mood at this time. When a cat's tail explodes and stands erect, it means the cat is very angry.
Tip:
However, it should be noted that the sebum in the tail of cats is very developed, so it is particularly easy to secrete oil, which makes their tails particularly easy to get dirty. Therefore, feces scrapers must clean their cats’ tails regularly in daily life to prevent cats from becoming uncomfortable due to dirty tails.
