I have a 1 year Male long hair kitty that for some reason is constanly licking every and any type of wall surface in out house. He is particularly fond of licking our painted walls.
This is a relatively new behavior that showed up about 3 months ago.We have taken him to the vet on a couple of occasions regarding this and it has been suggested that this may be due to stress. However, this has been going on for well over three months now with little if any changes to the environment (no new pets, no change to our routine, etc).
My wife and I are trying to figure out why our cat has decided to lick the walls like it was a giant ice cream cone. Although we a little concerned about damage from the licking, we are more concerned about what may be causing this behavior or if this might be linked to a possible health problem.
Does anyone else have experience with this type of situation?
