Just a pitch: Tail can easily be detached and works as a walking cane.

I do petty every physically sensative individual that has to take overcrowded public transport though

Ideally it would work as a seat that automatically braces under the user if they fall backwards, or just is able to touch the ground and help the user not lose balance, then revert to walking-balancing mode when the user stands up again.

It genuinely could have beneficial use for people with mobility problems, it's too bad these uses are going to be utterly drowned out by furries looking for new accessories to feel unique.
