Pumpkin tail

I have come to the realization that Pumpkin has got a tail that is about an inch or more longer then it "should be".  I noticed it the other day when it wrapped around his body and tickled his belly button.. I tried to get a measure of how long it was..

my pinky is on his bum... to me at least it has three additional rings on the end.  I feel that most kitten tails would end about where it starts to curve at the end..
