Not fun for the cat. If it purrs, great. If it acts like this, it’s not pleasurable. “A cat’s tail is a 12″ (30.5-cm) extension of its highly-sensitive nervous system (spine), plotting tons of nerve endings in one small cluster near the tail’s base. Long or aggressive scratches can trigger a pain or stress response in these sensitive nerve receptors.”
