Why is Amber doing this?
During the last week, Amber has started pulling out tufts of hair -
mostly from her belly. Amber is 10 1/2 years old, spayed, a little pudgey but not fat. She is a typical domestic short hair, orange with white paws, vest and belly. Nothing has changed except a slight moderation in the weather. Food is the same (Wellness canned chicken), there are no fleas (she has never been outside). There have been no new people or cats. Why is she doing this? ---MIKE--- |

I was thinking it IS spring. My eyes have been SO goopy lately. I wonder if
it couldn't be that. However, for her age, I think I would want to test her thyroid, just in case. "---MIKE---" wrote in message ...

I think fur pulling might be for different reasons than fur licking--does she have skin problems? Might she have allergies? The weather factor is what causes my cat's allergies and asthma to act up. I think it is the mold that is present and moves around in early spring. As for the licking that causes baldness, my cat did that when stressed and when I fixed the situation she stopped completely. |
