My male cat Mr Boots, is about 1.5 yrs old. he is nurtured but I've notice he is licking his private area a lot lately and also licking his fur smooth off on both back legs on the inside of the leg... any idea what this might be??

Hi
this area is often where parasites such as fleas like to gather so it could well be that he may have fleas. Check his fur and make sure you give him his monthly spot on treatment.

There are other possible causes too. See this page for more on skin and fur problems for cats
