Super cute fluffy feline tail rigged with Bento skeleton. It’s extra long and super fluffy. And since version 3, shorter tails are also available to better match smaller kitties. Purrfect choice for any feline out there.
The tail comes with 60 texture patterns. 8 pattern sets in 6 colors and 12 bonus fully tintable fur patterns, and full custom AO. Additionally, if you own Canine Tails, you can use additional 60 textures from that package too.
And if that’s not enough, the purchase includes a dev kit which will allow you to easily create your own fur coat patterns. A texture applier for the tail is available in related items down below if you wish to sell or share your mods.
You will also find a new universal color HUD included into the package. By using this HUD you will be able to easily tint and customize the tail as well as any other P&C product designed to work with this HUD, allowing you to easily use your saved color presets across wide variety of P&C products.
The AO HUD will allow you to customize how the tail should behave using set of options and expressions, allowing you to set the mood of the tail. Each tail has a set of expressions that allows you to choose between different moods and how your tail will behave. The expression system is modifiable so you can change existing moods or add completely new ones, even allowing you to use animations from other compatible bento tails.
Aside from regular animations, the pack has 21 static animation poses for photography and other uses.
Warning!*
Due to special structure of the tail which extends its length beyond normal length bento skeleton allows, animations that aren’t specifically designed for it may not work correctly. Animators can use provided .blend file to make their own animations for the tail. The tail may also be incompatible with attachments that use hind part of the bento extended skeleton.
*This limitation concerns only long versions of the tail.

Very happy with this tail!
I'm very happy with this tail. My AO on my previous tail set so that the tail would hang low, which is how I like it, but when I walked or did anything else it would pop up into the air like a house cat tail. This tail, I can set it to ride low via the AO menu and it STAYS low.
I'm giving this product a 5 star review for quality and value. It comes with documentation in the form of notecards, and the HUDs are well-designed and easy to use. I had tried a few other tail demos and even purchased a couple, but didn't find what I wanted until I found this tail. Thanks for the great work, Purrie.
Small Issue
So I love this tail to death but I just noticed it totally breaks SKNK bento dicks.
I cant really knock a star off for that since there is a demo.
But maybe an updated rig in the future would be nice
Beautiful
This is a beautiful BIG tail, and you get lots of options between thickness and textures. There are 'short' versions but I find they're barely shorter than the regular. I thought the tail was too long at first but I'm growing to like it! Animations are great; tail curls around you when you sit which is a nice touch.
Purrfect
easy to texture, multiple tail types, lots of animations, what more could I ask for?
Nothing Like It
I'm not exaggerating there is nothing like this on the MP at this time.
This design is very clever. It's full mesh, but is actually furry rather than smooth mesh painted to look furry like the typical tail. Plus it's double layered fur allowing for an under color.
The animations are smooth and have a nice variety.
I'm happy I can use the P&C tail toys with my neko avi now.
I've been waiting for the new shorter tails and am thrilled with them.
amazing!
used for most (if not all!) of my feline avatars. animation is very smooth too, with a hud to pick between several unique settings. no bugs that i've seen yet, having used this tail for a few months. i don't usually write reviews, but this is a truly exceptional product.
different versions and varied textures make this tail usable for nearly every cat you might want to make, ESPECIALLY big cats. seriously, for my snow leopard sona, i could not find a better tail.
