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.

Do tape worms make dogs scratch and bite at their tails?

They can - passing the worms can be irritating, which most dogs would respond to by trying to scratch or bite their tails. More likely, your dog may have another type of parasite such as fleas (which tend to accumulate around the tail head) or lice. If the irritation persists, or your dog's tail starts bleeding or scabbing over, I would suggest taking him to the vet for an examination.
