Grown cat chases own tail
Have I got a cat with a case of OCD? The only thing he plays with,
ever, is his own tail, which he will do for a half hour or more at a time with a zany look on his face. He doesnt bite or anything, but he seems to get a lot of exercise out of it. |

I've read that it is something that OCD cats do, but have never had an OCD cat so I don't have firsthand experience. |

When we got her, she didn't actually seem to be into playing much, preferring just to revel in the company of hoomins who looked after her. But then she discovered the black snaky thing that followed her around ..... -- Cathi |

Imp will do this when he's in a silly mood. He'll curl up in his cube
and start attacking anything, especially his tail. It's hilarious because the entire cube shakes and rolls around. There have been mornings where I've found the cube all the way across the room. Kristi |

Rather like Katie, who liked to get on the banister and attack her own tail through the rails. Past tense, since she is now too "fluffy" to get her little butt *on* the banister, much less get around to attacking her tail. Too bad she always jumped off before I could get the camera.... Chris (obviously without the supervision of Katie, much less Tripper and Hazard... ) |

He doesnt bite or anything, but he seems to get a lot of exercise out of it. Some cats love to chase their tails and really get into it. Isis (RB) was a serious tail chaser who would spin round and round and round. She was doing that quite literally until a few days before she died aged 16. One morning she really excelled when she span and span and span....And caught the tail monster and grabbed it with both claws and sunk her teeth into it! She then looked at me as if to say "I don't believe I just did that!" Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs |

Vino used to chase his tail but then one day he actually caught it...and killed it...and now it's gone!!! ;-) -- Britta Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr. I have an alarm clock that's covered in fur! Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album |
