Do cats control their tails? Or do the tails control themselves?

Yes, cats control their tails.

No, they aren't.\n\nHumans have a stronger preference for one hand over the other than other animals. That is thought to be due to language being localized on one side of the brain, so motor control gets unevenly dominant (your right side of the brain controls your left hand). Animals don't have the languge skills, and tend to use both paws about equally.

Same as with cats. If you throw a cat to the ceiling he will land on his feet - and then again when it hits the floor.

I've always had both cats and dogs as beloved pets.  Dogs have a more practical intelligence, like catching balls and walking with you on a trail or jogging with you.  Cats, however, have a much more sublime intelligence.  They don't need to do tricks for you, they get you to take care of them.  All in all, if you're going to be brutal about it, cats are smarter.

I think they can both be affectionate - each in their own way.\n\nI have had dogs but have only cats now.  All six of my cats are very affectionate.  One, especially, is my constant shadow and wants to be with me all of the time. She 'talks' to me and snuggles at night.

Well... completele dominance means that if the allele shows up at all in the gene, it totally dominates.\n\nA completely made up example: Let's say that a long tail is COMPLETE dominance...  T = Long Tail t = short tail.  So if the gene goes: TT or Tt, the cat has a long tail.  It only has a short tail if the gene goes: tt.\n\nIncomplete dominance is when neither allele takes full control.  So the same example with the cat would be very different.  TT would still mean a long tail.  But Tt would equal a medium-length tail as a blend between the long tail (T) and the short tail (t).  \n\nI'm not sure if that explains it very well... another good way to look at it is with colors...  If a flower's color is determined by incomplete dominance and it has a red allele and a white allele, the flower will be pink, or a MIXTURE of the red and white.  \n\nI hope that helps.

It is a reference to animals that puff up their tails when excited or alert, like cats.

Simple; when falling more than a few feet, cats will spread out their limbs to maximize their surface area. This maximizes the force of drag, and minimizes the terminal velocity and acceleration. Since they don't weigh much relative to their surface area when spread out, their kinetic energy (=1/2mv^2) isn't very much (low velocity and low acceleration) and so they are able to absorb the impact.

A. Cats are less docile than dogs\nB. Cats wouldnt be strong enough to pull a person\nC. The handle and harness would be impractical due to the size and height\nD. People would point and laugh

omg! I can't believe this! XD\nWell... If the cat is very thropid, it will land on it's back and will ruin the sandwich... You shouldn't do it! >_<\nBut the cat always lands on it's feet... And by the way, you should also think of a tie between the two forces! lol

My cat, yes. But I'm very catlike, and I know how they play. Humans on the other hand....their mind games are so off the wall that I don't really want to be human at times.

Most definately. Probabaly the most easy way to prove this is to read on animal behavior in the subject of embarassment or anxiousness. Have you ever seen a cat that has tried to jump on top of something and they goof up? Some might lick their paw in a moment of trying to recover grace or run away out of embarassment. I think these reactions are key indicators of animal self-awareness.

I have the same problem except my dog follows my male cat around sniffing his butt. I usually beat him senseless and lock him and the female cat in the laundry room together so he gets the point.
