(15,682 posts)My cat does that when we play. He backs up into me so I can pull his tail. Then he swishes it back and forth while I pretend I can't catch it. Of course he really wants me to catch it and is thrilled when I finally do.

(1,336 posts)One of my cats is a major tail swisher -- and she only does it when she's happy and purring and when I'm petting her or rubbing her forehead.

(21,432 posts)I never had a cat before the current one who was such a tail wagger. Since she was a tiny kitten, she has always swayed and swished her tail when playing and happy. It is definitely not an agitated twitch, which she also does when ticked off.
I have joked that I should have named her Fido. (She likes to play fetch, too.)
The one in the video does not seem unhappy to me. If it was, it would shrug off the dog's paw, or swat it away.

We all can get along. We just gotta. We gotta. I mean, we're all stuck here for a while. Let's, you know, let's try to work it out. Let's try to beat it, you know. Let's try to work it out.
