What I mean by "the end result is the same" is that aside for medical, regardless of *why* he/she is doing it, it should be corrected.

It's the means of correction that varies on the severity and reasons for doing it in the first place.

He does it occassionally, maybe once/twice every few days. I don't think he's bitten at it, and I can't remember if he growls, but he definitly goes crazy chasing it. He makes me dizzy just watching him! He'll just do it randomly, but usually when he's playing with his toys he'll take a break from them, and go to his tail. Does this sound like something I should worry about? Should I stop him when he does this? I don't need to get him to a vet or anything ASAP do I?
