yep thanks for that tip willI added a bit of noise to the fur also to try and bring it out a bit. the smudge you suggested makes the outside folow on from its fur grain.
one layer with overlay and one layer just normal and lowered the transparency finally a multiply layer to darken it a bit.

if you combineWiL's smudge technique on top of some single pixel drawn hairs on the body of the tail. ( as in draw some flicks for hairs on a new layer then use the smudge tool to fade them from base to end )
Stick it on overlay mode and give it bevel and drop shadow ( playing with values and transparencies ) you would be amazed at how it can make an image 'pop' when doing fur.

in your blending optionsbevel and emboss ( but you don't want the emboss part for fur )
bevel is a geometry term but for photoshop purposes it just gives the illusion of 3d through altering light values.

right click on thebevel option in blending options and you can then choose the type of bevel you need and the shape/size of it.
in simplistic terms this is what I mean
obviously what you start with determines how much it looks like hair later and how much highlight used on the bevel determines how flat/plastic it looks.
