Great series, I love that tail!

His tail is his most striking feature. I think it looks like a target.

i think he makes his point. he makes himself bigger in appearence, with the fluffy tail and stands upright,In picture 1+4 he/she=it stands so sidewards almost like a cat , when they are angry.Such flexibility with the tail haven't i seen either.like it's own little shield or umbrella (multifuctional). beautiful shots,nice specimen which gave great poses to lucky you. NICE
