My 9 yr old female tabby has begun to groom herself excessively. She has the fur almost licked off parts of her legs and stomach.
does anyone have any experience with this behavior?

I have the same problem with one of my little girls (Lucy). I have three female cats and Lucy is actually the first and was considered the alpha; then came Shelby, who is Lucy's age (6 yrs old), and then last year Chrissy came into our lives. Chrissy is only a year and my husband and I seem to think the root of Lucy's excessive grooming comes from stress caused from Chrissy challengeing her for the alpha position. Lucy never had this problem till Chrissy came along, even though all three of them get along perfectly, we seem to think that this would be the problem.Originally Posted by marty goetz
