    Our ginger Maine Coon Gryff decorated his 2ft tail & fan in 2011 with a 4ft bramble. He ended up asking for help to get it out. That was a fairly interesting DIY tail extension/ decoration job. Regards, Richard.

    The more I learn about that cat, the more I think he must be related to Richard Haseltine. They seem to have a lot of common traits.

    As you can see in the photo, Gryff had a bit of a tail fan to thread the bramble through, even at 9 months old.

    Regards,

    Richard

    ETA: It appears his lasers worked well too. Gryff died of heart failure just before his third birthday. Was a lovable gormless lump who sat looking vacant with his mouth slightly open when he got above age 2. We're now on cat 12 in 35 years, and most have reached 15+.. Plenty of time for silly stories.

    Yes, it's relative scale  - "is this  too big foer me to take on or not?" Perhaps also "Is this too small to be a threat requiring absolute annihilation?"

    I had a ginger and white female Persian mix, and she was.... Well, she definitely had her orange moments. Quite territorial, not always very bright. She terrorised male cats and smaller dogs. One day she charged our neighbours' Belgian shepherd, saw its real size up close, and sat in a tree for the rest of the afternoon.

    She was so pretty, though.

    This is her brother/scratching post, Rufus the floofus. He was a non-pedigree NFC, and had polydactyl feet. (We call them "ship cats" around here.) He annihilated everything, including the keyboard on my laptop.

    Unfortunately Imgur seems to be region-limiting its hosted files - I am just seeing a "Content not Viewable in your Region" message.

    Like RichardH I can't see the photos due to region limits. We had a wonderful all black NFC called 'Fluffy' because he was, utterly regal cat who was the real boss in our house. Regards, Richard

    I can see the two photographs in the US.
