Sometimes it almost seemed like Gem’s tail had its own brain. You could play games with her tail and you could tell what type of mood she was in just by observing her tail. You could tell whether she was sleepy, content, energetic, or agitated. Sometimes when I tried to wake her up she would pretend to be asleep/dead but then her tail would start wagging which would give away the fact that she was faking it. The most interesting aspect of her tail was how she would get fat tail whenever she got startled.
In this week’s photo (below), Gem’s tail is shielding her eyes from the light as she sleeps. As soon as I saw this I immediately knew I had to get a picture.
