Chesney has a full natural tail.. And she beats us to death with it.. Constantly in the face, on the legs (this isnt too bad), and in the head...she is beating us with her tail!! In the face and head it hurts!! But when she gets on the bed or you sit in the floor with her you are right at the perfect level to get whacked!! This morning I was putting my youngest son's shoes on and getting them tied and she whacked him straight in the eye..he didnt even have a chance to close his eye.. After all was okay I told him that she doesnt mean to do it but she just gets so happy. Is there a way to teach her an awareness about that lethal weapon??? She honestly is such a sweet, loving (but dumb) creature I dont think she has a clue how to make it stop because she even beans so hard she smacks herself in the face on a regular basis..
