Daisy's Tall Tales
I am calling today "Tall Tale Tuesday." I hope you enjoy my illustrated story. I helped make the pictures! Painting is a little bit hard.
Once upon a time there was a lizard named George the Great. Only George the Great was a mean and bad lizard, so he did not live up to his name. He became mean because he had a very short tail. As we all know, lizards should have long tails, and George was ashamed of his short tail. Many other lizards called him George the Not-So-Great behind his back. So, George usually could be found alone on his rock with a scowl on his face, soaking up the sunshine.
One day, George the Great saw a much smaller lizard. George was envious of this lizard because the tiny lizard had a very long, very curly tail. George had never seen a tail so fine and so long! So, George climbed over his rock towards the tiny, curly-tailed lizard to get a closer look.

And when the tiny lizard was not looking, George bit him in the tail! This made the tiny lizard's tail fall right off, for of course, a lizard's tail is designed to do so in case of emergencies. Our hero, SuperDaisy, just happened to be cruising by when this happened. SuperDaisy could not believe her eyes! So, quick as a wink, SuperDaisy flew straight down from the atmosphere... 
...so she could play with the tail. After all, it would be a terrible shame to waste a perfectly good tail, especially while it's still wiggling. 
Author's note: The tiny lizard eventually grew another long, curly tail. But while his tail was still growing back, the tiny lizard met a beautiful girl-lizard and got married. This made George the Great realize that the length of his tail did not really matter. It was the curliness that was important. By Daisy the Curly Cat

We enjoyed your Tall Tail Tale!
A Tale about a curly tail from a curly cat! Purrfect! Love your pictures!
GREAT JOB!!
Can I have another bedtime story, Ms. Daisy? But what a great Tall Tale.(Or is it a Tall Tail?)
Ooh I wanna curly tail to play with too! The only tail I get to play with is that of my brother Ramses and he's working so hard on kitten duty that I can't really play with it at all right now... What I need is a lizard! :)
that's a great tall tale Daisy!!!!
What a wonderful tale of a tail. The pictures are lovely.
Miss Daisy, you are my SUPER HERO and you are such a good story teller. No tall tail, just a wiggling one...
We are still laughing. ~Socks, S & C
We like the way you flew down right out of the atmosphere to get that tail.
Great story, Daisy!

I do not like George the Not so Great. He seems a little mean. But I do like his picture.
SuperDaisy....you are so funny! Great Tall Tale!
Yes, curliness is most important, Miss Daisy, the "curly" cat. And we learned some interesting tid bits about you Daisy in your interview on another blog yesterday. Jackie likes to sleep behind the computer cause it's warm too.
Jackie, Gidget and Lola

-Jasper McKitten-Cat
this is a very good tale and a superb moral for the ending.
Lovely artwork too!
happy perky to all of you in FLA
Daisy, you are so talented! I loved your story and artwork.
(Mommy is giggling.)
It's not a tall tale, it's a long tale. Same thing as a tall tale, but lying on it's side. snort.
That is like the best story ever! Most stories are boring but not this one, you got to play with the tail!!! Plus a happy ending. You should be published Daisy!
Kaze
Now we all know, it's da curl dat matters.
Hi Daisy!
Wow, that is a great story! I think you should consider writing a book.
Love Clover xo
Wonderful story and pictures Daisy! I understand that you couldn't resist playing with the curly tail and I'm glad the little lizard had a happy ending. I hope George learned his lesson. :) Thanks for the smiles.
Love and Purrs,
Lorianna
That was the bestest story ever Daisy.
That was so awesome that stars fell out of the sky.
I loved the ending too. Yeah, the lizards don't really matter, it's the tail that is the important part. :)

Yes, Figaro is the embarrassing when companies comes over. Some kitties just do not know their mannerses.

Hi Pixie!
Hey, Supercat, that was some lizard tail you told. We're glad the short-tailed lizard learned a lesson from it.
LOL! That was great! Daisy, you is the coolest curliest cat I know!
Purrs, Emma
That was an excellent tale, Daisy. I especially like the part where you sweep down from the atmosphere, to play with the tail :-D
I loved the story. And the lovely illustration. I must say I was expecting Daisy to live up to the 'hero' description at the part where she leaps into the scene...not end up playing with the tail! lol

Cara
That is so adorable... i do think you should have your pet human make all your wonderful storied into a children's book.
xoxoxo
Oh Daisy - we loved your story time. And your pictures were very expertly drawn. We agree - curliness is important.
Tiki, Tavi, Cody and Camie
Daisy

smoochie kisses

That was a great tall tale. I'm glad you enjoyed the lizard pictures on my movie. Also, Hi Pixie.
That was a great story Daisy. Wonder how come George the Great's tail didn't grow back. I bet a cat got his tongue, Oh I mean tail. But that was great you got to play with the tail. All we ever get to do is watch the lizards on the wood pile do push ups. They haven't ventured into our back yard yet, as we can't go out front where the wood pile is.
I must say Daisy, you sure have pretty eyes, great picture of your eyes up close.
Casper
You're a good painter, SuperDaisy!
Great curly story Daisy!
--JB
ha! Very good story, Daisy. Painting is hard, but your paintings are very nice.
I hope George the (not-so) Great finds a nice girl lizard, too. Maybe then he won't be so grumpy...
Wow! Superhero Daisy! How cool!
See Daisy, that is why I like you so much. A little bit of blood doesn't bother you at all! A beautiful cat after my own heart. (and your illustrations are awesome!)
Ha ha! What a neat story! I just think you're so funny and cute!
Liss
Hahahahahahahahaha! That is a very funny tall tale!!
That was a great story, Miss Daisy, and I thought your pictures were very good, especially all the realistic chopped off tail gore..it looked better than ketchup!
That was a fun tale, thanks for sharing.
That was a beautiful story; I was terribly touched by it. :)
That was a great story, Daisy. But where is Super Daisy's cape? I thought you had to have a cape.
Roxy
That was the greatest tall tail I ever heard! By the way, you're a good painter. I liked you lizards.
Hugs...G
I think I would be scared if I saw a lizard's tail fall off. George is mean.
Such a wonderful tale. Reminiscence of Wonder Woman... Super Daisy to the rescue!!1
Nice illustrations.
Missed you yesterday
Have a nice day...
Boy that George is not a nice lizard.
Oh Daisy, you really crack me up! That's a great but a little bit weird story. I enjoyed reading the whole thing & your paintings are not bad!
Love licks,
Solid Gold Dancer
