Gary, fear not. He wouldn't dream of trying to pick up Allen from his tail. First he's already learned the concept of "gentle" and second, he knows any pulling means kitty goes away. All he wants to do is hug them.

When they are outside, Allen is completely oblivious of Cameron because he's so focused on eating the grass. Inside, he tolerates Cam's hugs and pets. He doesn't love the pets, but I think he secretly likes Cam's pets because they're more like slaps at the moment (we're working on that) and Allen has always enjoyed a heavy-handed petting.
