My female cat Bean is going to be a year old in April.. When she was a young kitten and displayed this odd behavior, we found it somewhat amusing and laughed it off.. We'll I believe it's something more than a lil boredom. It has progressed into constant(and I mean CONSTANT) hissing, growling and now really attacking her tail. She runs from it even.. If shes not asleep or absolutely engulfed in attention from us. She's fighting with her tail. It has become quite bothersome.. And I'm sure she's not loving this either.. Any advice?? Please....
