An interesting thought came to mind where I have discovered a good artist named 
KimeraMao
So I am essentially hanging around by the tail end of things, LITERALLY! Some of you may ask, how is this technically even possible for a chakat? Well, us kats can be rather flexible, clever people. Life finds a way you know...

I like the art, it's cute. Yes Chakats are rather flexible and clever... but basic physics still apply to the body and the space around it.
I say this because I'm someone that has done a fair bit of rigging for lifting and moving heavy stuff. So I understand lever arm and loads being imposed... Someone it going to have a very sore tail when shi gets down from that tree.

I imagine that'd be quite a painful pose to hold, and likely couldn't be held for more than a few seconds at most... unless you're a wee cub.
Tails may be prehensile, but fur is slippery and you have no gripping surfaces on a tail... plus you're leveraging up something to the tune of 160 to 200 kilos on those hind paws, very far off the center of balance... yeah, gonna fall face-first pretty quick.

The way shi is cantilevered off the tree and where hir back paws are, there would be at least two and a half to three to one lever arm on that tail. Meaning for every kg past her foreshoulders would be a 2.5 to 3 times the load pulling on the tail. Then you have the weight of the lower torso to hold up on the tree adding to that pulling force. The pulling load would be very high, it's not like shi has something holding hir from above like when you are repelling down a rock face.
