Do any of your cats chase their tails?

Pete does. He gets a big kick out of his tail. He also chases Claire's, which she doesn't appreciate.

My 11 year old cat Tegato chases his tail still occassionally. It is hillarious to watch. Fortunately he does not growl or play rough with it. He will use chase it for a short time and eventually hit lays down and starts cleaning his tail.

We never have the camera ready, but PJ is a major tail chaser. She pirouettes and spins around, getting lots of air under her. It's absolutely fascinating to watch her to do, and it's all we can do to keep from laughing like crazy and making her self-conscious. She's especially fond of chasing her tail when she's up against something - a wall, a table leg, or even when she's sitting in a box!

Ginger used to chase her own tail - what a racket she'd make: A THUMPeta, THUMPeta, THUMPeta! For some reason, she'd usually do it in the kitchen while waiting for me to make her bowl of wet food up.

Now she spends her time stalking and chasing Ferris instead.

Gizmo will play bed mice with her own tail if my hand isn't up to it.

That is precisely how Persi fell into the full of water bathtub, being silly on the edge of the tub, chasing his tail. I told him only dogs did such things but it had no effect on him.

Yes, Palekana still chases her tail and she is 8 years old. Every once in a while she'll look at her tail as though she had never seen it before and start chasing it crazily. Eventually she calms down and starts licking it. Silly girl.

None of my other cats do this. They outgrew it long ago.

Pudge is almost 3 years old and does it occasionally. Typhus doesn't really do it that I've noticed (she's 6 months old). At most she'll nibble on the end of it. but this isnt very often.
