Ohh that sounds great! Thank you for the tips, I'll check it out! I hear there's a lot of animation updates coming up for Blender recently, too! I'm sure there's a lot of stuff to make things even easier. By the way I also recently found out something that would've made the tail animation even faster. I wouldn't have to even pose the tail on the opposite direction, but just copy the pose and paste it with Shift + Ctrl + V. It already mirrors it when pasting it :o

Hi Liz! Thanks for the tips :D If i might add to the that... For animations like the blink, where you need the same bones over and over again you might want to check out the "Selection Sets" in Blender 4.2 and up. You can create as many Bone selction groups as you want and asign any bones and controls you want to them, without messing up the bone groups created by mektools. So you can have a group for eye lids, eye brows, a group with all bones related to the blink etc. and select and deselect them easily. That makes animating them even faster, and can protect you from accidently mis-clicking and keying a wrong bone :)
