One of my cats also has this tail quiver. I thought at first it was
based on urine-spraying behavior, but she is a SHE - not known for spraying, and she's also been spayed, so I dropped this idea. After a few times, I began to think that this was a form of intense excitement or pleasure - she used it when I got back home after a few hours away, she used it when I was offering some tasty treats or food, she used it when we were involved in a petting/scratching session. Probably the same thing in your case. Jim Sheryl Barber wrote: My cat has an interesting tail quiver. It is not the usual twitch or tail slap on the floor. She actually makes it quiver very rapidly while it is raised straight in the air. I have never noticed any of my other cats exhibiting this behavior. Anyone familiar with this behavior and what it means? |

Most of my cats do it too (including females). There's one male and
one female who do it all the time. Sometimes I'm sitting in front of the computer and they come to me and quiver their tail against my legs. I guess it's also a way they ask for attention. One of them (the male) will insist to the point of climbing on the table and throughing his body over the mouse. I need to stop what I'm doing and hold him for a few minutes or he won't let me work. |
