Only if she injures her tail. I had to put one of my cats on tranquilizers. She just wouldn’t leave her tail alone. She also lost part of her tail over it. Keep an eye on the tail. If there are no bites or scabs don’t worry about it. It is normal.

This may sound awkward and wierd, But if you let your cat out of the house, she may have a thorn, or tick or something in her tail,
then again she could just be a playful kitten who is fond of her tail ^_^

i hope that helps, you may want to chek her tail.

Playing. Play time is very important to a kitten. They learn to socialize, develop physical skills, get exercise, and have fun! Kittens have a great time playing with each other - rough housing, stalking, pouncing, chasing, and grooming each other. Young kittens don’t know they are hurting you when they grab at or bite your hand, or run up your pant leg, so be patient and forgiving. If you have just one kitten, you will the focus of all of his playmaking attention! You can “train” your kitten not to bite or scratch by giving a high-pitched yelp whenever she gets too enthusiastic. This is how kittens let each other know that the play has gotten too rough. An idea which can help save your arms from scratches is provide what I call a “wrestle buddy” for your kitten - a stuffed toy or old sock filled with soft cloth or socks - that they can be free to sink their little teeth and claws into. Use it to rough house with your kitten and she won’t become accustomed to using you as her scratching toy! it might look agressive but its not they have a itch or something
