I agree fixing the clipping would be preferential, but seeing as how it would take so much time, that's why I suggest this option. I see it as the tail is more of an "extra", where ears are pretty essential lol. And like I said, I can see some people roleplaying a Miqo'te who lost their tail as a child or something. =p

That and I know some people HATE the tail. Most of the criticisms I see of us cat people are our tails. =( Maybe we'd convert more people to the master race if they were optional... xD
