Ok, this might seem like a weird (and stupid) question.
I have heard from a few people that cats can not control the movement of their tail. Is that true? I'm asking because I didn't believe it to be true, but then I found Precious. She does this thing when she's really happy, about 20 times a day actually, where she sucks on her tail and kneads. She doesn't seem to be able to control her tail. Like, she will be standing on my chest and I'll be loving on her and she will lay down. When she lays down, she will want to suck her tail. So, she has to grab it and pull it to her mouth, then she will start sucking it and kneading my stomach. Then, she will get really into it, and her tail will get away from her mouth. She will then either grab for it again (sometimes she has to grab at it more than once to be able to "catch" it and bring it to her mouth) or she will reposition herself in order to get her tail. Because she is the only cat that I've seen who sucks her tail, I've never noticed that what I heard about cats not being able to control their tails possibly being true. Does anyone know if there is any truth to that?
