Cat attacking tail
by mickey1223, Jul 13, 2008 09:37AM
My cat has started attacking his tail and chewing at his tail and body. It is almost like something is biting him. I have checked for flea and did not see anything. What else could cause this?

If there is some damage happening, it could be a flea bite allergy (even just a few could get a bad reaction), it could be your cat got into some household product that's acting as a skin irritant, or it could be just plain stress/ nerves.
If it's still happening after a few days I'd try some flea drops... after that, especially if kitty doesn't seem stressed out, I'd get him checked out.
