I can't speculate as to the cause, but tail paralysis can be a serious thing in cats as the lower G-I tract can be adversely effected, since both areas receive nerve supply from the same area. This is definitely something you want to have checked out by a vet at your earliest opportunity. Good luck and I hope it's nothing serious.
