Pugsley Addams, a small local celebrity
Six months later, the subject of conversation remains the same, and Amanda begins to understand that her cat is special. She talks about her children, who wonder if Guinness has already set a record on the subject. Surprise, yes. New surprise, their Maine Coon beats him.
According to Amanda Cameron, her cat is curious, adventurer and intelligent … and particularly creative when it comes to making new nonsense. But he is also very affectionate, “sweet and purred all the time”. His long tail has already made him the little local celebrity of the neighborhood: it is impossible to miss him.
What is the tail of a cat for?
In general, the cat's tail is an organ that helps the feline to keep its balance, when it jumps or it climbs. She also has a role of “barometer” for her feelings: a stimulated or happy cat will only move the tip of his tail. If the cat is annoyed, or frightened, it will remain close to its body.
Normally, the size of the tail of a cat is of the same length as the feline body. Maine Coon uses this organ to sit or to keep hot. Pugsley is therefore particularly well equipped to face the harsh winters of Minnesota.
According to Amanda Cameron, Pugsley is very aware of her long tail. And waiting to know if she will get longer of a few centimeters, all members of the Cameron family should be careful where they put their feet!
