The reasons why cats’ tails are oily

1. There are sebaceous glands on the dorsal side of a cat’s tail, which secrete oil as an odor indicator. When the sebaceous gland secretion is too strong, it will cause the cat’s tail to become oily. There is a large accumulation of grease at the base of the tail.

2. Hormone disorders in the body can cause oily cat tails. For example, excessive secretion of androgens can cause strong secretion of sebaceous glands.

3. Irregular combing of the cat’s tail hair will also cause the cat’s tail to become oily.

4. Cats that are too obese will cause their tails to become oily.
