Cats are simply amazingly beautiful and sensual creatures. Sometimes people are surprised how they manage to recognize the mood of the owner, to find sore spots on the human body and to return home for hundreds of kilometers - just a complete mystery.
Probably, one of the most mysterious parts of the body of these animals is their tail. We often notice how the cat wag its tail, when it is nervous, transferring it from one side to the other, as it lifts its tail upside-down and trembles with the tip, when it hurries to its beloved owner for another tasty meal. Many people are still tormented by the question of why cats do not like being touched by the tail ?. The answer to it lies in the natural purpose of this body, which we will now talk about.
Why does a cat need a tail?
For today it is not known exactly why a cat really has a tail, because in the world there are many breeds of tailless mooing pets, for example, a Kurilian Bobtail , and they easily express their emotions and balance in space, land on paws without a tail. There are two theories about this.
According to the first, cats try to express their attitude to something either by means of peculiar movements of their tail, using the so-called "cat's tongue" just as a person expresses his emotions with the help of gestures of hands and fingers. Finding the mood of a cat on the tail is quite simple. With this task to cope even the most inexperienced lover of these beautiful animals. If your affectionate pet is nearby and, straightening the tail, slightly shaking them, this indicates his great love for you. If you notice that your cat is wagging its tail from side to side, this means that it can not make any decision, and being in a state of irritation, the mustachioed pet sharply pulls them in different directions.
The second answer to the question of why a cat needs a tail is based on the fact that this organ is needed by the animal as a kind of "helm" by means of which the cats balance during jumping, running, falling and necessarily land on the ground. Therefore, the answer to the question of why you can not pull the cat by the tail is quite obvious: first of all it causes pain, inspires fear and distrust towards its owner. In addition, such actions are quite capable of damaging the health of the cat, because in this part of the body it has accumulated a lot of nerve endings, therefore, jerking the cat by the tail, you risk damaging the health of your pet, becoming its faithful enemy or the object of revenge of the vindictive pet.
