Hi everyone. I have a 6 month old kitten who I have had since birth. For the past couple months at least, she has been sucking on her tail. I’m not worried about the behavior in and of itself, but I recently noticed that the fur on the last inch or so of her tail is really short like she is chewing it off. (It looks like a little kid got some scissors and tried to give her a haircut). I’m including a photo, but it’s hard to get a good one since her tail is black.
I know she was not taken from her mom too early since her mom is still around and has actually been living inside for the last couple months!! (View some of my previous posts if you’re curious about that story). Unfortunately I’m not sure if she started this before or after her mom gave birth to her latest litter about 7 ½ weeks ago.
Due to the fact that it looks like she has been chewing her fur off, is this something I should worry about? Do y’all think I need to take her to a vet? Thanks in advance for all feedback!
