Is there a cat psychologist in the house?

I know I've never seen this before. Wait, let me rephrase this: I know I've never seen a CAT do this before. I've seen dogs do this, because you know, they are stupid. It's acceptable. But when your cat does this? It's time for the little cat vets in white jackets to come take him away.

This evening as I'm preparing for bed, psyching myself up for a Monday, and a long week, Oscar began to do some pretty freaky jumping around. He started chasing his tail. Yes. His tail. What the?!? Have you ever seen such a sight before? I became a little concerned with his behavior. Is he really that bored with me that he's resorted to chasing his tail? It looked like that tail was tormenting him as well. Just taunting him with its peculiar way of cat taunting that had Oscar in circles. Oscar would catch his tail, lick it, and then it would twitch again, and off again Oscar would go.

I just wonder if my health insurance covers cat psychomania. He is my dependent you know.
