My little monster...

Orion has started doing something strange. Well I guess "started" is the wrong word. When he was younger, I noticed him grabbing at his tail now and then, but didn't think much about it. He couldn't really reach it, and he was adorable doing it. I knew dogs chased their tails but never thought about cats doing it...

But, lately he hasn't just been grabbing at it. He can actually catch it, and bite it. He does it quite often, and also chews on his back legs too...  today he was more aggressive than usual towards his tail... chewed on the tip for several minutes before wearing himself out and taking a nap.

I really really hope this is just a playful kitten stage he's going through and not something actually wrong with him. I googled it, and it can be a sign of a syndrome that some cats develop.

I love him so much... I'm going to be keeping track of how often I see him doing this from now on.
