Bottle brush tail. Piloerection in the form of a frizzed-out tail may be a sign of anger or excitement, either fearful or joyous. During a display of anger the puffed tail is usually accompanied by an arched back and a vocal hiss or screech. If the display represents excitement and joy, the tail may fuzz out and flick back and forth.
