We had one that did that as well, but he was just dumb as nails. He would be laying down with his tail around him so it’s at his face (looong tail). Then he would hit himself in the face on accident with his tail, this would piss him off so his tail would start wagging in his face. This pissed him off even more so he would grab his tail and bite it, but as soon as he felt that he would realize what he just did and start grooming his tail. Playing it off like he didn’t just do something stupid, but was just grooming normally. He did this a lot, because he wasn’t always the smartest of the bunch.
Thanks. We really miss her - small cat, 7 lbs, but a HUGE personality. We have two other cats, a dog, and a third cat we adopted after she passed, and the house STILL seems super quiet without her, 4.5 years later.
We always knew where she was because she would enter a room and announce herself. Her meow meant, “The Queen is here!” The dog barks louder, but doesn’t bark often, so the cat somehow felt louder.
Wow that’s kinda sad.

I miss that cat so much.
I’ve seen my cat do exactly this. Not very often, but it happens.
He’s not a smart cat, but he does have a tail he can cover his eyes with for naps.
