The tip of a cat's tail has many nerve endings that cause it to be sensitive. There are tiny bones that are surrounded by muscle and nerve endings in a cat's tail. Some cats have more sensitive tails than others.

What is your cat saying if it wags its tail?

Cats don't really "wag their tails". If your cat is lashing its tail from side to side, it's probably upset about something. A cat may twitch the tip of its tail, which is somewhat different; it doesn't seem to really mean anything other than "I can twitch the tip of my tail, so I think I'll do that." That's not entirely true; cats usually twitch the tip of their tails when they are hunting.
