Swelling at the base of a cat's tail could mean a number of things. It could be due to a bite wound or other injuries such as a sprain. Another possibility is that someone may have stepped on his tail.

One of the causes of a swollen base of a cat's tail is injury. It could either be a bite wound or a sprain. The tail may also have been stepped or jammed in a door.

It isn't likely a cat would die directly from a bite to the tail. However, a bite would leave the cat in great pain so it is advisable to take the cat to the vet immediately. While the tail isn't a vital organ, they are delicate appendages and due to the many bones within the tail, it is easy for a tail bones to break. Sadly, a broken tail cannot be mended, and in some cases, if the injury is particularly bad or the injury is at the base of the tail (greater chance of nerve damage), the tail has to be amputated.
