== == Yes it would hurt that cat since in the cat's tail there is a bone. That bone is also there to help the cat balance, so is the same with the cats whiskers. NEVER pick a cat up by it's tail. Can cause serious injury and breakage from the backbone.
probably because your daughter picked it up by the tail... you should not allow your daughter to pick up your cat by its tail.
yes
not ussually, but a rat can lose the top layer of skin on its tail from doing that.
Picking up a cat by the scruff can cause discomfort or pain for the cat, especially if done incorrectly or if the cat is too heavy. It is not recommended as a regular way to handle a cat.
You could just have picked it up in such a way that you hurt the cat, but if you usually do this and it never caused this reaction, then I would take the cat in to your vet and have it checked out.
No kangaroo can pick up grass in its tail. No kangaroo, not even the tree kangaroo, has a tail that is as prehensile as that.
The scruff of the neck cannot support the weight of an older kitten or adult cat; it will be painful for the cat and can cause injury to the cat's neck and spine. When picking up a cat, always support the back-end with one hand, and under the front legs with the other. This distributes the weight of the cat evenly and allows the cat to be comfortable. BTW-If your cat has a collar on, take it off before you pick it up by its scruff. You might tighten it by accident. If your cat has a small scruff, don't pick it up. If a cat is overweight or has arthritis, don't pick it up. Don't swing it back and forth, and put it down gently. Just saying, otherwise you'll hurt it.

I would not do it, for sure. That loose skin is there on the back of a kitten's neck for the mother cat to use to pick up her kittens. You are not a mother cat, and an adult cat is pretty heavy compared to a tiny ball of fur. It has to hurt.
No, it is not safe to pick up a cat by its neck as it can cause injury or discomfort to the cat. It is better to support a cat's body properly when picking it up.
