Unky, one of my cats, is a compulsive overgroomer. He eats the fury off his back and the back of his legs. It's been going on for over a year. For a few months, it was getting better, but he started back up again a week or two ago.
He's three, fixed, doesn't have fleas, and has no signs of illness. His diet hasn't changed in months, and the closest thing to medicine he gets is hairball remedy. I moved my cats a few months ago, but he'd stopped overgrooming a couple months before that, and just now started up again. I think it's a learned behavior that turned into a nervous tick, because it started after his mother started overgrooming after getting fleas.
Dies anyone have any suggestions on how to get a cat to stop overgrooming?
