My cat, Thumper, washes herself way too much. I've had cats all my life (can't even count them all), and I've never had one to take washing to this level. Take tonight, for example, she came in to go to bed for the night, and washed herself for 45 minutes straight before she finally went to sleep without stopping at all - and that is nothing. She can go A LOT longer. And if someone touches her (and I mean even one finger) she will completely wash herself all over again. It's almost like she's got OCD or something. She washes to the point where her fur starts getting really stiff. It's great to want to be clean, but this is ridiculous. What can I do to make her slack up on the washing? Does anyone else have this problem? None of my other cats wash nowhere near as much as she does. Need advice!
(And, btw, she'll go outside and roll around in the dirt - she wants to be clean, but she loves to get dirty
