Cats do not like having their tails pulled because the vertebrae in their tails are connected directly to their spines. This means that a cat's tail is actually a part of its spine. Pulling on a cat's tail is very painful because it puts strain on their entire spinal column.
it can break the tail. A cats tail also has very sensitive nerves
Because cats don't like water they lick there tails to clean them.
all cats have tails to balance themselves, a bit like holding out your arms to balance
Just about every dog owner has observed the family pet engage in the activity of tail chasing. Dogs chasing their tails is certainly not an unusual phenomenon, but the behavior often baffles the owners and in some cases seems to be so common that the activity borders on being an obsession. Various experts on dogs suggest a number of reasons why dogs chase their tails..
A cat uses body language. They let others know how they feel with body movements. The tail wagging reflects what mood a cat is in. When a cat comes towards you with its tail held straight in the air or waving gently side to side, this is a friendly greeting. A flicking tail indicates ambivalence - the cat is not sure how it feels. A cat that is being held and is flicking its tail wants to be put down.
Its not really like cats like the dark. Cats are animals that hunt in the night, so they will prefer being outside while dark.
because i have two cats i know what they don't like. they don't like water on them, they don't like loud noise's, they don't like being picked up all the time and they don't like being teased.What was said above may be true (for their cats, at least) but there could be better information. Cats do not generally like to have water sprayed on them or dumped on them. They also do not like their tails being pulled either, and they don't generally like being held upside down. Different cats dislike different things, so your cat may have things it doesn't like, (like getting its belly rubbed) while other cats would love/like it.

They like to pass close to you and brush you with their tails--and many cats even like their tails pulled gently as they pass by. I do not know why this is so, but my cats always return to have me pull their tails. I let them determine how hard to pull--I just provide some tension for the cat to pull against. They come back over and over again. Those who say cats do not like their tails pulled are probably talking about indiscriminate yanking, the kind of thing kids (and mean adults) do just because they can. The key here is to let the cat be in charge. You just provide the tension and allow the tail to slip through your hands. I think it probably stretches some muscles and tissues and gives a pleasant feeling, like being scratched.
Cheetah cubs are born with tails, just like domestic dogs and cats. The tails grow as the animal grows.
For balance. (almost kind of like how cats have tails, but to a lesser extreme)

Cats use their tails for balance and like dogs, to communicate and show their "Pack Rank". A less dominant cat will hold her tail lower than the "leader".
