Misha is three and she chasing her tail. She only does it in play. She doesn't do it every day, so I don't see it as a fixation. I don't do anything to stop it.
She'll be throwing the hedgehog around the living room when out of nowhere she'll spy her tail. Then, she'll spin around in circles until she decides that game is over. As quickly, she goes back to the hedgehog.
My Lab used to play with her tail, but in a different way. She'd be laying down minding her own business. Then, she would thump her tail up and down, teasing herself with it. All of sudden, she would strike. She never bit very hard. I'm assuming she knew it was her own tail teasing her.
