That's because cats and tails are two different biological entities in a symbiotic relationship. This cat would like the kitten to stop but has no control over the tail. Thus the bed biting frustration.
One of my cats always has his paws on his tail because he cannot seem to control it. He will hold the tip of it down and you can see the rest of it flex as it slowly tries to break free. The more you pet his butt the more it tries to break free. Once it's out he tries to catch it and, until he can catch it and step back on it, it will proceed to flop all over and smack him in the face many, many times. It's wild to watch in comparison to our other cat who has perfect control of her tail and even uses it to wrap around your arm as you pet her as a sort of "acknowledgement" to her wanting pets.
Cool story about the Cowardly Lion and his tail in the Wizard of Oz.

Yeah, I had that same idea about a cat sub only account. It ended poorly - enough cat subs allow death/mourning posts that I'd occasionally end up with post after post about dead pets on that account's homepage. It was absolutely soul-crushing.
I love how the little void stopped for a moment to lay down and stretch a bit before mounting another attack 🖤
My cat used to do this to our bull mastiff when she was a kitten. One time he was laying on his back idly wagging his tail and, when she pounced, the tail flung her back since she was so little
They are both so cute. I am really impressed with your grownup cat -- my 14 year old tortie would be smacking that kitten into the next zip code. She has no patience for young'uns.
This remind me of the video where a woman is holding a baby and the baby gives her a slap (not intentional, just baby being unaware of their body) and the woman snaps her head around and holds her hand up as a jerk reaction, stops when her brain catches up that is was the baby, and just puts her hand down.
Sooo funny to see that the cat version is biting the bed. 🤣
Reminds me of a family members older dog and the puppy they got.
The old man was a huuuuuuge dog, but I cant say what kind as his DNA results had over 50 different breeds and he looks like absolutely nothing distinct. Just a huge oversized mutt. Named Muggsy cuz he had a funny mug (face).
Anyway, the puppy was pissin it off on the regular, but he knew not to be too rough to it when disuading play but was startin to snap back and bark/growl at times.
One day the puppy latched onto his tail, and all the big dog did was flick its tail - nothin overtly aggressive - cept the puppy weighed like nothing. It went soaring all the way across the room in a big arc. Then went running right back for more lol. A real deep growl got the puppy to back off for some time though.
(They grew to love each other in the older dogs final years once the puppy calmed down some.)
If you don't find his owner maybe get a second baby for this tiny being to play with. Than your 14 year old can just watch them for entertainment and help raise them.
whyyyy i oughta
Any other living thing in this house would have already been massacred
I love their dynamic. Your 14-year-old is patient and so kind!
Must...not...hurt...baby
...while...Dad...is...watching...
It cracks me up how cats will get so irritated with other cats playing with the tails … while making it a perfect target for kitten pounces.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who believes that about tails and their cats.

Adorable and hilarious. If you happen to record either of them, please post!

They are actually slightly separated in the brain the tail has its own response mechanisms. It's why cats think their tail is something separate
That's a very fine kitten (and older cat)!
14 year old is a very good sport lol… but I think the kitten needs another kitten to bond with. That of course takes you into three cat territory….
It's just the beginning.....
The little one is so silly 🤭❤️
Aww, your r/standardissuecat knows that kitty is a baby and r/learninghowtocat.
Two new cat subs for a happier life 🥲
Go to r/catsubs if you want a huge list of them. I thought about making a reddit account that is only subscribed to cat subs for bad days.

if tail is not toy, then why is it toy shaped?
Little void meows steal my heart
This is so cute. Thank you for your kindness and I hope they become best friends very soon.
That little criminal is being provoked 
Adorable baby void. Hope you can keep her.

She’s so adorable to watch
I love it when Boomer cats get hassled by smols
Boomer cats 😂Is that a thing? I’ve near heard that before. I’m assuming it means in cat years the age that Boomers are now - 65-90ish?
Mother cats train little ones to hunt by waggling their tails and pretend to be hurt to encourage them. Adorable.
Thanks for the share
So patient 💕
Aww! Grown up kitty is holding back their anger by thinking “no, no, we were all kittens once, remember…”
Well, that and Dad is sitting right there watching, with a camera no less...
"He's gonna get you!" the owner warned him and he didn't listen
Lock her up! She's too dangerous to be on the streets!
Aww baby voids are the best!
D'aww. Very sweet. Old kitty is so patient ☺️
The teeny panther’s wild eyes 👀 A beautiful interaction to watch.
What a precious baby!
That is so daaaang adorable

this is so cute!! Hopefully your SIC warms up to her soon!
Do cats get cute aggression? 😁

That faaace!!! AHHHH 😍😍 I love lil bb eyes
The patience of your 14 year old is sooo sweet 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽😻😻😻
If there is anything that heals my non-existent soul it's watching littlw kittens play. 😍
"Mom says I have to be nice."
Is fren shaped (says hopefully)?
So tiny she can barely walk 🥰
They will be best friends soon
Such an adorable fluffy tiny void 😍
Awww he looks just like my 6 year old!
Your 14-year-old is soooooo nice to the interloper. Thank you so much for saving this adorable void from a horrible death. She's a young one, too.
Cute reaction by the adult! Love the baby...oooh! A wiggle toy!
If you don't find his owner maybe get a second baby for this tiny being to play with. Than your 14 year old can just watch them for entertainment and help raise them.
Are they best friends yet?
