My cat chases his tail

[lunatica]

Not like dogs do mind you. He does a whirling, blurry, dervish double back flip, crazy eyed attack and sometimes all you see is four extended claws raking madly in the air.

do I need to worry?

1. Only if he catches it, I'd guess.

Your cat's not alone.

Could be a medical problem.

4. So did mine in his youth -

he'd jump onto the hutch and spin around. His nails against the wood sounded like he was tap dancing. Before this, I thought only dogs chased their tails. I always asked him - what will you do with it when you catch it?
