|根拠1要約=Cats Protection (2024). If the whole tail puffs up, the cat feels scared or threatened; puffing up helps it appear bigger
|根拠1格付け=二次
|補足=With an arched back it is also a "keep away" threat. Puffing only at the base of the tail can mean the cat is overstimulated by stroking. Japanese Wikipedia's "Cat" (ネコ) article also says a puffed tail means threat or surprise.
