Lucy is attacking her tail

[stephanie0122]

What can i tell you? Cats are very strange creature and hard to figure out just why they do the things they do. It sounds to me that your kitten is just playing, and maybe doesn't realize that it is her that is hurting her tail. She'll catch on eventully. All kittens do the tail chase thing don't worry about it.

stephanie,
i sighned up for this pet talk because I was searching the net trying to find out why my cat does that, and my search engine showed me your question. I just had to tell you that your not the only one with a crazy cat, on another site this was their answer... Well, this could be different things. He could have parasites of some sort. He could have had something happen to his tail. If a cat's tail is bugging them, they will often "attack" it. It could also be obsessive compulsive disorder. You need to have your vet take a look at it. Some cats have had to have the irritated part or even the whole tail removed to prevent infection and furthur attacking it. I encourage you to see your vet. I hope this helped. Have a good night.eir answer...

If it is a stress reaction - to the new baby (congratulations!) - often Rescue Remedy or Feliway can reduce the stress and the actions.

Have you checked her tail to see if anything is on it? A sore or something?

How old is she?

A vet should be able to help you figure this out.
