Hi! Am new to this nice site with a question. Hope someone out there has an idea about my kitty's behavior. I know it's normal for a one year old kitty to "zip" around the house and run like crazy, but mine stops and licks himself on the paws or the back frantically between laps around the house. I checked him for evidence of fleas - none. He loves to play and snooze and eats well. What could be causing the frantic licking (followed by running, and sometimes hiding under a piece of furniture)?
