Cat chasing tail - Cat psychology

My cat never really chased his tail before. I wonder why he did it now. But it was funny to watch, and I wondered if it was his friend.

This morning, when I was getting out of bed, my cat was in a playfull mood. He was laying on a chair in my bedroom and wanted to wash his tail. The more he tried to catch it the more his tail evaded him. He chased his tail for almost an hour before he finally caught up with it and he could wash it.

Looking at the way he played with his tail, it really looked like they where best friends.

This episode inspired me to this little cartoon about cat psychology. Hope you enjoy it.
