Base of tail?
I've noticed some cats (such as one that belonged to my grandmother)
seem to develop a skin condition on their back, just at the base of their tail. My own cat seems to lick that spot more than anywhere else on her body, to the point of dampness--and if I rub her there, she reflexively starts licking her lip, or else my hand or face or anything else that's near. (She seems to enjoy it, though.) Why would that be? -- Chris Meadows aka | WWW: http://www.terrania.us | Somebody Robotech_Master | ICQ: 5477383 AIM: RoboMastr | help, I'm | Skype, LJ-Gizmo: Robotech_Master | trapped in | Yahoo: robotech_master_2000 | a sig file! |

(She seems to enjoy it, though.) Why would that be? It's called feline hyperesthesia. Our tuxedo cat has it. Our vet said not to pet her there, it can get uncomfortable. It's very sensitive, and stimulating that part amounts to tickling. Sort of. That said, it is really hard not to mess with our cat by rubbing her right above the tail because she is hilarious when we do. She points her little nose to the sky and wags her head and says "Mow Mow Mow." It's Stevie Wonder-like. |

The good news is, it didn't recur and he's 10 now. Sherry |
