| The kinky Siamese |
Why does the Siamese cat have the trademark bend, or kink, in his tail? The legend goes like this: a princess of Siam was bathing in a river, and she needed a safe place to put her gold rings while she swam.
Her faithful cat obligingly twisted his tail so she could place her rings on it while she frolicked in the water. Ever afterward, Siamese cats have had the royal kink in their tail to keep their mistress’s rings from falling off.
