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.
