Hi my kitten is a moggie that looks like a turkish van, little sods just nipped my nose lol anyway he sucks his tail and needs.
I got him at 9weeks of someone who did not want him so don't know when he left mum just wondered if anyone else had a cat do this and checking he is not totally mad lol

your cat tail might be itchy or something...

I don't think so, as not chewing is suckling like a baby does it whan he want to sleep all are de fleaed and wormed and his coat is clean.
Thanks tho should have prob made it clearer sorry

It sounds more like a bad habbit than a sign of an underlying problem to me.
I would try and stop this behaviour, as it may lead to him having sores on his tail. When he does this, either remove the tail from his mouth, and say NO! or give him a little squirt with some water.

or just leave the poor thing alone............tell u what helz next time you bite your nails or itch ill squirt you with water ok.....

Squirting water does not harm the cat… just like it would not harm me. The difference is, you can talk to me and explain to me not to bite my nails.

If you read my post again, you will see I advised this as it would concern me that sucking his tail could cause him to get sores on his tail, if this is the case, it would be in the cats best interest.

Just like when you stop a child from sucking their thumb, because it can have adverse effects such as sticking out front teeth.

Oh! did not want to start a fight! very catty lol (sorry but i'm sad and had to say it)
Thanks for all your advice i know everyone is trying to help i might just put some thing horrid on it so he does not like the taste did not think about it getting sore, was more worried as i did not get him from the breeder was second hand so to speak and worried he was too young to have left mum and might need some thing extra never been the sole owner of a cat. dogs, horses, sheep and hamies i'm fine just want to do the best by him.
