She needs to see a vet, who may have to remove part of her tail.  It could have gotten slammed in a door or something, and if the circulation is damage the tail will die.  The gangrene can spread to the cat, and kill the poor thing.

She still needs to see a vet in my view.  Clearly damage was done, and from what you say it sounds like either it gets itchy or she can't feel it properly and might still need some of it amputating.

I agree with this advice.  Your cat needs to be checked out by a  vet.
