Nit Wits #2: Purrassic Park
The Tail-Headed Catasaurus by Chris Dunmire
Cat lovers will appreciate the subtle humor in Purrassic Park. Inspired by the magnificent dinosaurs in the movie Jurassic Park, kitty's tail hovering slightly among the thick jungle of house plants was reminiscent of the large-body-thin-necked Brachiosaurus looking for lunch.
More Cat Tails
I've always felt that a cat's tail is
independent of the feline it's attached to. When I was a
child, I remember
wondering
if a cat's tail was really a snake-like entity attached at the
catboose (ha!).
Nowadays, I'm leaning more towards seeing
the tail as an emotional outlet for kitty since she can't verbalize
her annoyed thoughts such as "My water dish has things floating
in it AGAIN!" When she's annoyed, her
tail twitches wildly. When she's content, it just floats upward
with
the tip slightly curled over. When I see her catboose that
way, I can't help but to think of a happy Brachiosaurus looking
for
some leaves to munch on.
I'm glad humans don't have tails. Can you imagine how difficult
it would then be to mask our true feelings in our relationship
game-playing?
He: "Honey,
what's the matter?"
She: "Nothing." [tail twitches wildly] •
