Contrary to belief, when a cat’s curled tail isn’t an attack certainty, it often signifies the cat’s surprise or feeling threatened. Therefore cats often puff their tail to appear brutal and tough.

They also do this during tag games and play fights with other cats. It often forms a positive visual impact. This can be considered as their style of bragging, making themselves seem more threatening than they actually are.
