Melbcat ‘monkey tails’ me and people she likes by wrapping it around us, it’s her version of a hug.

I know when she’s sick because along with the other body language she sometimes ‘hugs’ herself with her tail to self soothe.

Omg. It looks like you’re getting a tail hug. (Cats wrapping their tail around someone is a sign of affection)
