Tails can speak! Did you know how animals and birds tell us something by using their tails? A dog wags its tail when it is happy. A cat puffs up its tail when it is angry. Often we say, "As clean as a cat". This is because cats do not like water, yet they are always keeping themselves clean by licking themselves.
