I am telling a person the secret about cats' tails that I recently found out.The real part of a cat's tail is quite short, the major portion is a parasite. The parasite takes on the same pattern and attaches itself to the tip of the cat's stubby tail. The joint is thoroughly indiscernible. It should come off, however, if pulled. As I speak, I contradict myself, why, if this is true, does it hurtwhen bitten?
