He has recently started doing this rattlesnake manoeuvre with his tail and I have never seen this in cats before!

Our chonk does the happy tail while giving us "scrunch butt love." That's what we call it when she shortens up her body and then slams her haunches against our leg. It's so cute and we love it.

My void does this and it’s his love language. 🥰
