you scratch them at the base of their tail? I used to think my cat acted weird when I did that b/c he was born without a tail and I assumed it was some nerve endings going crazy. Now that I've been on YouTube though I've seen other cats with tails acting in a similar way. When you scratch him there he tires to lick the closest thing available and if there is nothing he just kind of twitches and licks the air....here are some vids of what it looks like from YouTube:
**About 15 sec into the first vid you will see what I'm talking about but it's just a short clip

When a male cat wants to have sex with a female cat, he will stimulate her there and it gets her excited and prepares her to be entered. So when you rub her, she gets excited.
That is what the vet told me when I showed him what heaven it put my cat into.

Wow, I've never seen a cat do that before. When I saw this, it remided me of a Phsycology class I took. My professor worked at Ohio State University for a while and they did expeimentation on cats where they would probe a certain area on the brain of the cat an it made it do a certain function. Like if they touch in one place it would mount, another place it would get in the stance to go to the bathroom, ect. Very interesting they way living things function.. I'm sorry I couldn't be more specific on your question, but I would say it definately has something to do with nerves and the message thats sent to your cats brain when you stimulate your cat by touching it in that area.

I have a 4 year old cat and a 2 year old cat and they go crazy when I do that. It has something to do with the nerves. The tail is considered part of the backbone is what my vet said.

We used to have a multi element cat tree (floor to ceiling type) and it had a mouse on a stretchy string miraculous from the accurate. one in each and every of my cats used to snatch the mouse and stretch it throughout the front room until eventually she lost her grip and it went flying decrease back throughout the room to smack into the wall. sometime she did that and one in each and every of our different cats jumped on a platform. at the same time as Morph enable the mouse flow it smacked the different cat in the butt and, properly i don't think of i have ever seen her bounce so severe!

Cats and dogs will do that. All of my animals do. The reason for this is that is where fleas lay most of their eggs. The reason dogs and cats act weird is because that is the place that they are unable to reach themselves. Try doing that to a dog sometime. They will lightly bite at your arm like they are trying to kill a flea.
