Leave me alone!!!! (KAREN, come see!)

This is very funnny-she clearly thinks that tail gets on her nerves. She reacts as if it was a baby who wants to play while mom wants peace and quiet

[krazyaboutkatz]

Wow! She acts like she hates her own tail. She sure has grown into a big girl too. My Pearl will chase and play with her tail but she's never growled at it or bitten it before. Hopefully it's nothing serious that's causing this.

That is so funny and adorable. And how gorgeous is Caramella!!!! Love seeing videos like this.

[Jessika]

Does she ever harm herself while doing this?? I suppose I wouldn't be too concerned about it unless she starts to self-mutilate. Are there any behaviorists in your area you can consult with?

[catmandu]

That is so sweet and Caramella is getting cuter every day.

Kimba attacks his tail like that. My vet said some young cats do this as they aren't mentally developed enough to recognize that that squirmy, annoying thing that WILL NOT GO AWAY is a part of them. This is supposed to stop when they get a little older. We'll see.

katladyd-Glad to find someone else who has a baby who does that. It's just the oddest thing I ever saw and I had never heard of it..

She has never really harmed herself in doing that yet, she mainly watches it, giving it the evil eye and wishing it would go away and she'll bite at it and every now and then she actually catches it and bite it. It is funny to watch it but after laughing I feel so guilty because it really annoyes her and she is really upset!

[moosmom]

WHAT A HOOT!!!!! I could hear her growly at it!! You should make a video of it with a human's voice and put it on YouTube.

I can't get over how ahem, svelte she's become. She's definitely in the right place.

This is the latest video of her and how bad can she get.. This time she was more violent than she has ever been with that tail.. I started out thinking it would be like the last video I posted but this one brought me to tears when I watched it when playing it back... I DON'T find this one funny, I find it alarming! So the next time I took her to the vet, I took this video.

She had come down with her second UTI since March/April and I had him look at this video and asked the question could those UTI's be what is causing this behavior.. In examining her, he said even her anal glands were infected and when he just touched them, they started pouring out that stuff. Her girlie "bits" were so swollen he almost couldn't find them.. He had to shave her down there. He is like me and thinks those UTI's are what causes her tail attack behavior..



For her UTI's he thinks she is to fat and the fat forces her body to cover up her girlie "bits" so we have her on a diet.. Only 2 days on the new food and it is very obvious that she is extreemly allergic to something and I am betting it is the new food so I have taken her off of it until she sees the vet again in a day or two. Poor baby just sneezes non stop all day...and I mean NON STOP! It is awful and I feel so sorry for her.. He told them to tell me NOT to give her any antihistamines before I bring her in. Poor baby just can't catch a break! He said that could very well be the answer to why she gets so mad at her tail, that she could be blaming her tail on her pain...

[Catty1]

Poor girl! At least there seems to be an answer. Can the vet clean out her glands without causing her pain?

I hope her UTIs stay under control and that she can get a healthy food she likes.

[moosmom]

What a Yutz. I love the way she growls are her own tail!!

[Laura's Babies]

kak, Caramella don't like can food at all for some reason. She will come running and beg more than the others but once it is put down, she walks off, not interested! Funniest thing I ever saw.. She BEGS! BEGS! BEGS! Then walks away unimpressed.

Her sneezing and other ailments are a lot better today. I have only heard her sneezeing a few times.

[Karen]

So good she seems to be feeling a bit better!
