I think it is because it is scared. I am not exactly sure. I have a cat and I have seen it do it several times, usually after it saw something that scares her.
If your cat growls or does a funny noise when it sees another cat that it has never seen, then he is defending his territory or aggressing the other cat.

Why does a cats tail get big when its about to fight?
Cats generally fluff up their tails when they are in a confrontation situation with another cat. You may also notice the fur all over their body fluffing up too. They do this to in an attempt to make themselves look bigger and more dominant - and ready for battle! When the cat is ready to fight you will notice his bristled tail suddenly arching and he may start to growl and appear pretty ferocious. Cats do sometimes fluff up their tail when they are in a playful mood too, but it is quite easy to distinguish between an aggressive fluffed up tail and a playful one by observing the cat's general demeanour, body language and environment.

Why does cats raise their fur when they are scared?
There are several different reasons why a cat fluffs up his tail. When a cat is in a confrontation situation, he will fluff up his tail - and the fur on his entire body also. What he is in fact doing is trying to make himself look "bigger" in front of his opponent. If a cat's tail is lowered but fluffed up and he is adopting a crouched kind of position, this generally indicates that he is frightened of his opponent and does not want to enter into any kind of confrontation. Sometimes when a cat is in a playful mood he will fluff up his tail, but in this instance you will notice the tail is in an upright position and he generally will not give the appearance of being frightened.
