Some cats do something like this when you scratch their backs (one of mine
used to do it):

BW!!! BW!!!

I couldn't tell what was going on. Was someone just scratching it on
the back?

Scratching their back, right at the base of the tail gets this sort of
reaction from some cats. Most of mine just enjoy it for a second, then
they try to get away from it. Except ol' fat Tennessee - he tries to
'lick' the air around him, and even does some of that biting that they
do with their front teeth - not a good idea to do this to a cat when
it's on your lap, and you are in your jammies (no bra)...

Can you see where this is heading?

Yup, Tennessee is a nipple-biter.

Yup. it hurt!

Ouch!
Okay, I remember something about this now. Because Cherokee used to
lick his paws everytime
you scratched him at the base of his tail. It turned into a parlor
trick; we'd say "Cherokee! Your
paws are dirty!" Then scratch him for the amusement of friends.....but
it seems now I remember
reading something about this, and it turned out to be some kind of
neurological / nerve disorder.
My curiousity is piqued, but unfortunately my google finger isn't
awake yet. :-)

Rowdous is nuts then. He *likes* the base of his tail scratched.- Hide quoted text -

But does he act weird? Could be he doesn't have the nerve sensitivity
I was talking about and
just likes it.
Everybody here has different preferences. Yoda *loves* his neck and
chin scratched. Frank likes
head scritches.
