Whenever my cat Marco gets really agitated (especially after I clip his claws), he chases his tail, and meows and hisses at it. But sometimes he does this for no apparent reason. Sometimes he'll do it for a minute or more. He's at least part Turkish angora, so his tail is really long and fluffy. I think that might have something to do with it, but I'm not sure.

Some cats just like to chase thier tails. My fiance's cat, Kalie will see her tail out of the corner of her eye and turn around and attack it. Its quite funny to watch.

One of my cats sometimes does this without the hissing. I tell him it's the toy that's always there.
