Ah yes, the telltale soggy tail…”Miss Paka,” I would say, “why is your tail soggy?” —just that bit of fur that was at the tip remained if she had not done it defiantly one front of me…I have 1 who used to always have the tip of his tail soggy. I just keep taking it out of his mouth and wiping it dry and telling him No. I guess he grew out of it. He's 3. Same like what someone shared, I think he was bothered that's why the tail chewing, some days good some days bad and he will hide somewhere to chew his tail.
I have a 7 months old tail chaser now though who chases her own tail like a dog and bites it when she catches it. But no wet tail so far.
Thanks so much can you please share which toys for chewing you bought have tried a few but no luck thanksPaka would do this. She never knew her mother so she first sucked on her paw until it got raw but didn't break the skin. I would shield the paw from her by putting my arm in the way. Got her chew toys which she paid no attention to. A while later she changed to sucking her tail. It got me crazy. She did this mostly in bed with me. She didn't didn't break the skin. I again interceded. We noticed she did it mostly when she had an issue with us...fed too late in her opinion, someone getting petted instead of her, too much light when she didn't want it...worked to distract her or hold it down and pay attention to her. Always told her to stop it, it was my tail (haha). Finally she grew out of it.
They were all Petstages brand: there was a worm, a banana and a fresh mint stick. I will try to get pictures of them.Thanks so much can you please share which toys for chewing you bought have tried a few but no luck thanks
Thanks so much for getting those pictures I have the worm and 3 mint sticks but he is not interested although I keep offering it to him each day and we also have a avocado shrimp and pretzel. The pretzel he loved but super dangerous and a choking hazard same company and they were unhelpful to deal with.I looked on the Petstages website and there are many more than when I had investigated.

There is a link at the bottom right....not sure how to make it easy to find......
That said, it made me crazy but it did subside for years and literally came back to vex me. How old is your kitty?Imay not be much consolation but my vets were of the opinion that if she wasn’t breaking the skin, it was not really very worrisome.
