    Pearl is constantly swishing and wagging her tail like a dog even when she appears to be happy. She'll also run around and get very excited and then end up with a puffed up tail that looks like a bottle brush. Ziggy does the quiver tail and I too thought that she was trying to spray. I looked it up on the internet and it said that when a cat does this that they're overcome with emotion for their owner so she's doing this to let me know that she loves me. Alani & Blaze usually hold their tails high most of the time. Sky will also sometimes do the swishing and wagging of his tail. Storm usually holds his tail high or just horizontally out.

    Those are great! Evie is mostly "Happy to see you", "Let's be friends" or "Wanting Some Loving"; oh yes the "Butt in reverse" as she backs up into my face in the mornings - very prominent in our day-to-day

    I'm not young enough to know everything.
