The Siamese Cat's Long Thin Tail

IMG_2134, a photo by Insomniac86 on Flickr.

This photo shows the Siamese tail: long, thin, tapering to a fine point. Those words are from the Cat Fanciers' Association breed standard for this cat (PDF file opens in a new window).

The tail that we see fits the breed standard well, it seems. The image is a direct link from Flickr. Sometimes these fail please note.

This cat is a seal point modern Siamese (oriental in appearance). Although not bred to extreme. The appearance is almost that of a Thai cat.
