How The Cat Got It's Tail!!

Many moons ago, before the sight of humans and cities, cats did not have long, sleek, glossy tails to puff and raise at their mad, mean enemies. At this time cats and dogs still quarreled, fought, and argued over things that were unfair and innocent to all cats. Since most cats did not have homes to live in they made their life living in the damp jungles of the Amazon, as it's now known as. One cat that was always chased and very vulnerable at all times was Nylon, a tabby cat. He was chased on a daily basis by many dogs of many sizes and hated the thought that cats were mistreated by these slobbering mutts. One day, though, while Nylon and her friend, Mica, were being chased, the big mutt that was running after them got so close that he snatched and pulled Mica's tail who yelped in pain and tried to run away. Nylon went to help her friend who's tail was snagged in a ferocious dog's mouth and tried to pull and tug as hard as she could. When Mica was free she had a long, silky tail from the hard stretch that the dog put on it. As soon as the dog let go of Mica's tail he quickly grasped onto another tail which happened to be Nylon's. He yanked and stretched Nylon's tail trying to drag her away."Help!!" screamed Nylon."Hold on! Watch what my tail can do!" yelled Mica back.By now many cats had gathered around the fight. Not joining, oh no, just watching, intensely. Looking at Mica's tail everybody saw it puff up like some wild animal, even the dog. The dog fled like a ghost was after it. Before, he had ran away he had dropped Nylon's tail which now looked and did the same thing Mica's did. Seeing the fright the dog held because of the tail, every cat started to tempt the dogs to get their tails stretched out, so they could puff them up. Some, though, were unlucky and got their tails bitten off, instead of long. These cats are now called Manx and other names. Today, cats use their useful long, silky tails to scare and sometimes defeat those enemies, the slobbering mutts.
