Cats are melting hearts around the country by wrapping tails around their legs, necks and heads to fight the winter chill.

We all know cats would prefer to live their lives in front of the heater. When they’re away from the pleasantries of warm heating devices, however, kitties have to improvise and find other creative ways to rug up, and it seems the best way to do that is with a nice fluffy tail.

Owners are calling the new trend the “Shippo Mafura” or “Tail Scarf”, and photos on Twitter show it’s something that cats all over Japan are getting into.

今日車で昼ご飯を食べてて外を見ると、黒猫がかしこそうな感じで見てたのだが、この前脚を尻尾でくるんと巻き付けるのがけっこうかわいいと思う。 https://t.co/2ciaTTD4C0

More curious cats have found a way to modify the trend by wrapping their tails around their necks.

Just looking at these cosy kittens has warmed the cockles of our hearts. We wish we had our own fluffy built-in tails to wrap around ourselves this winter too!
