how's this

A prehensile tail is the tail of an animal that has been adapted for use as a "fifth hand". Fully prehensile tails can be used to hold and manipulate objects, and in particular to aid arboreal creatures in finding and eating food in the trees. If the tail cannot be used for this it is considered only partially prehensile - such tails are often used to anchor an animal's body to or dangle from a branch, or as an aid to climbing.

Who ever said i was holding it by the last 3" of its tail?

And as far as being only partially arboreal he is no less arboreal than my ATB so how is that not very arboreal?
