Virgule is a 10 years old, slightly fat male cat. He has always been very loving and friendly but since the last 4 months or so he has started to act very stressed out and cautious. He's started to nip at his toes and pull the hair out of them, and also does it with his lower tummy. He now has bald patches and is barely approachable.
My sister and her boyfriend got the little guy to the vet and they couldn't find anything wrong with him, not even fleas.
So that got me thinking....could it be a psychological problem? His behavior started to change when they moved out from their old appartement. The boyfriend is suspecting his ex was not very nice to the poor thing, needless to say they moved out fast, but could this be the cause?
Can poor Virgule be helped out of this problem?
