It sounds like your cat might be painful when he is urinating - the tail shaking can be seen in cat's with urinary discomfort. This is common in young adult male cats and can be related to cystitis, bladder stones or a urinary tract infection. If he seems to be going more frequently, passing less urine than normal, or if he begins urinating outside the box you should see your veterinarian right away. They may recommend checking a urine sample.
