siamese female cat,8 yrs. has a very worring habit.
she bites and pulls at her claws,so much so that I sometimes think ,she may actually rip them out,This problem has never been found before in any of our cats,It really worries me.
We keep her claws trimmed and try to never let them get too long.
she is an inside cat with plenty of interesting ,birds and possums to watch so as not to get too bored.playtime is each evening ,time when the other cat goes to bed she spends on her own with me.
She was bought from a cattery. and I feel the problem is related to this somehow,she is a very nervous kitty,We did not get her until she was around 16weeks old,
MY problem and hers is how can I stop this habit have tried to take her mind off it ,once she starts,but this only works for a moment,it is not something she does all day ,but does do it at least once a day.
If there is a solution to this problem please do tell.
