This is an unusual problem, but a worrysome one. My aunt's cat. a two year old indoor female, has a swollen tail. It doesn't appear to be injured, and she seems fine otherwise, healthy appetite, still using litter pan, doesn't seem to be in pain unless tail is touched. She is a very nervous cat and is almost impossible to get into a carrier, and my aunt is elderly, so she'd rather not take her to the vet unless it's absolutely necessary as a last resort. Have any of you ever heard of this, is there any chance it is something that will go away on its own, or is there a home remedy for it?
