Different animals use their tails for different reasons. Cats use theirs for balance, horses for swishing at flies and monkeys use theirs for climbing and swinging. If the tail was of no use, evolution would have taken it away.

Well, for some animals, like a cow for example, use their tails to swat away flies and things like that. As for animals like a lizard or cheetah, I have no clue
