You get home and toss your jacket in one of the chairs. You make to sit down, but remember your tail. You groan and stand up again, wondering how the heck you will ever survive. You walk into your room and close the door. As soon as your door closes, your cat-like hearing detects another door open. Your mother knocks on the door to your room.
"Hi honey!" she calls, "I just got home from work! How was the zoo?" You gulp and respond in a somewhat shaky voice,
"I'm f-fine Mom! I mean it was g-good!" you curse yourself at sounding so insincere, she waits a moment then responds.
"Well I'm glad you had fun honey!" You hear her going down the hall and into her room. You slip off your pants and look in the mirror. Yep, the tail is definitely still there. You sigh and pull your pants back up. Your buttoning up when your mom knocks on the door.
"Can I come in honey?"
