Why is my cat always wagging her tail?

Answer by  raun08 (1839)

Tail wagging, or twitching or swishing, is a sign of tension or alertness in cats. Most often they'll do so when disturbed or feeling threatened but not enough to warrant fleeing. The motion keeps the nervous system primed for action, in case fighting or fleeing is needed in the near future.
