At the beginning of October we noticed our cat was beginning to groom herself excessively to the point she was forming bald spots on the backs of her legs, the tail, sides, and stomach. We thought it may be some stress with the changing of the weather and my work schedule changing from days to nights. We got her a companion to help keep her company. They get along great. This didn't stop the excessive grooming. The grooming must have turned into itching because she started forming scabs. Between her ears, above her eyes, and on her ears are the worst scab locations. We thought it could be a food allergy and changed to canned food only. It's been a week and she's still cleaning herself excessively. I'm worried it could be something more. I feel so bad that I can't fix this for her. Does anyone have any experience with similar behavior?
