Does your furry four-legged friend often chase his own tail?
Don't worry! Most likely, everything is fine. After all, this behavior is quite normal for cats.
However, you can't relax completely. Sometimes cats start chasing their tails out of boredom or even health problems.
If your four-legged friend has suddenly changed its behavior or is acting too aggressively while “chasing” its tail, then the animal clearly needs to be shown to a veterinarian.
But first, let's look at all the possible reasons why your pet might develop this habit.
Game
In most cases, the pet's funny behavior is nothing more than a game or an attempt to hone its "hunting" skills.
Boredom
Sometimes the “chase” of the tail is explained by the fact that the cat is simply bored.
This is a kind of "signal" for the owner: the person should spend more time with his four-legged friend. It also makes sense to "give" the cat a few toys.
Stress
If a cat starts chasing its tail after a recent stressful situation, then the pet is simply trying to distract itself.
Help the animal: pet it, show affection, demonstrate care. The fluffy one should feel safe.
Pain
Perhaps the pet is simply in pain, so he is trying to find the “source of the problem.”
If you think that your cat may have started chasing your tail due to health problems, take your four-legged friend to a veterinary clinic.
