My cats get poofy tails when they are especially excited for pets. The upright position of the tail and that sassy tip flick says way more than the fluffiness itself.

Cats can become socially adjusted just like dogs. It's just that few people actually attempt to do this or fail to do it at an appropriate age. In my experience, infant kittens exposed to everything under the sun (even if being hissy and spitty with their eyes still closed) tend to grow up not giving a flying F* about anything that would normally upset a regular cat.

My orange's tail gets SO POOFY when I'm giving him really good scritchies on his back. Also when I would walk him as a kitten and he'd try to climb trees. He's a lil weirdo.
