just thought I'd point out that the ringtail tag is referring to the Bassariscus astutus or ring-tailed cat.

This has been brought up before but it is also a slang name for several other creatures. Most commonly Lemurs but also raccoons, Tanukis and indeed anything with a stripy tail.

To specifically link it to one alias would mean breaking all the related muckery too.
