I'm new here, but hope to find some help. I have a kitty who is just over 3 years old. About 4 months ago she started chewing the fur off her legs. This was after we'd moved. After trying flea treatments (even though she didn't have any), prednisone to help w/inflammation and/or itching, and antihistimines, our doc has diagnosed her with psychogenic alopecia. We're trying that horrible e-collar right now and my cat just sits in the floor, hunched under the collar. Next step is trying some prozac, but I'm just not that excited about that. I would like to try putting a shirt on her that has sleeves or something like that to see if it can distract her enough. Has anybody done this? What we really need is like some leg warmers for her! If anybody has ideas, I'm open. A lot of the clothing I find for dogs (because there's not much for cats) is short sleeves and she would need long sleeves to cover the whole leg. Yes, this sounds ridiculous, but I'm desperate!
