One of my cats does. Patches is 3 1/2 now and he doesn't do it as often now but up until 6 or 7 monthes ago that was a daily game. These are my first cats and I didn't know cats would do that. I thought only dogs did it.
Willow is about 8 years old, and she still does that on occasion. Sometimes she chases her tail, and sometimes she chases shadows, including her own tail-shadow!
Jaffa does it. He goes round and round in circles and he often does it when he's sitting on a platform on his cat tree and has been known to fall off! I've never seen Mosi do it (other than general kitten swiping at the end of it if he catches sight of it) and my bridge babe Magpie never did it.
My yeller chases his tail and sometimes I have to stop him from hurting himself when he catches it. He has growled and attacked his tail pretty roughly sometimes.
Oscar is so funny chasing his tail. He doesn't know that it is part of him. He just spends hours and hours fighting with it. It is so funny. He is 4 months old
My Annabelle chases her own tail, it's so funny she acts like she's never seen it before
Gracie and Lizzie chase each others tails and Kidd, well he's fasinated my Lizzie long bushy tail and TRIES to chase it...Lizzie swats him but still he comes back for more!
I think I have seen all of my cats do this . fuzzy does it like crazy sometimes. I think he did it everyday for a week one time.
One of my cats/my moms cats who is about 11 now used to chase her tail in the tub when I was a kid. This was hilarious . hehe. She isnt a tiny little kitty either. Id say she weighs about 8-10 pounds.
Draco used to go into the bathtub to chase his tail, and that was the only place he would do it. Now he'll do it anywhere, and my other 2 will do it occasionally also.
LOL...this is too funny. I always thought it was behavior reserved for dogs. I'll get a video or some pics if I can but I never have the digi cam ready when she does it.
