According to our records she is 7 1/2 years old. I was planning on surgically removing them or most of them at least (maybe a little awkward to get all at once on tail). I mainly wondered how likely she was to keep developing a new crop.

Yeah, I wondered about viral papillomas but didn't know you could get them in cats.

Could be viral Papillomas. I believe in the cat they can often be hyperkeratotic and also can be associated with a greasy skin. I would go for removal and histopathology, and probably with checking FELV and FIV status.
