Licking

I dont know if anyone else had any experience of this, but my 4 are a close knit community and are always grooming each other. Beamish the boss cat always starts the routine.

Sounds great I know that they all get on so well, but I now have 3 out of the 4 suffereing from bald ears..... any clues as to how I should curb this habit..... or should I just leave them alone - none of them are going to win prizes

The only way to get them to stop is to put something bitter on thier ears. They make all kinds of bitter stuff that you can find at pet stores. Of course if they are happy, you are happy, I would just leave them be.
