Very perceptive. Point taken. However, maybe learning more about cat's
tails will help him to teach the cat another way to swat some of the
flies away (or whatever tails are for).  Or to recognise the benefits
if somebody develops CTRT [cat's tail replacement therapy :) ]. And
this cat - who is a happy and healthy cat - will be around for a very
long time ...

A nice ' tale'  though.
