Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / March 2006Brenda's licking the end of her tail into a spike
Hello all, Our Brenda has started a habit she licks the end of her tail until it looks like spike. She walks around with her tail straight in the air. I have searched to see if there is any injury, but No, nothing... She is not licking the fur off just fashioning it into a spike. Brenda is one of four cats she is the youngest being two years old. Has anyone heard od seen this before. > Hello all, Our Brenda has started a habit she licks the end of her > tail until it looks like spike. She walks around with her tail straight > in the air.

On second thought, I think Brenda is a little Goth kitty. :) Maybe you should get her a black collar with some metal studs. I never heard of anything like that before in my life. I would love to see a picture of your cat in the act of licking her tail until it turns into a spike. Seems like something that you would be seen on FNV.......Darius Hello All, i will try to send you a picture of brenda snd her spiked tail I think you are right she is Goth. You could try putting some Bitter Apple on the end of the tail a couple times day to break her of the habit. You can find it at the local pet store or feed supply place. It's a deterant for this type of stuff and taste absolutely awful but won't hurt the cat. I have used it on my previous lab who was a constant cleaner when she got any type of cut or scratch and it wouldn't heal because she kept licking it. It's also great to spray on cords & stuff you don't want dogs or cats chewing on. Celeste > Hello all, Our Brenda has started a habit she licks the end of her > tail until it looks like spike.
