Fudge was actively engaging in a play fight with Donut when I saw her puffed up tail for the very first time. It seems that the puffing up or bristled tail indicates that she was probably afraid at that time, surprised or simply trying to avoid a confrontation with the dominant cat. She is so playful that it’s almost impossible not to laugh when we see her “worried” face. Clearly, Ah-Nut manages to show her yet again who’s the boss!

The similarity of the second picture to this one here is almost uncanny, isn’t it!
