Over grooming cat

Why is my cat over grooming herself until the fur has completly gone it that particular spot?
Answer by Kate
over grooming can be sign of stress and the cat is rying to comfort themselves with grooming. The other reason could be a skin problem or irritation. It is best to get the cat checked by a vet to make sure that there is nothing wrong with the skin.
If all is physically ok then it could be stress or boredom. Try to distract your cat by making sure there home environement is stimulating and entertaining. See my pages here about playing with your cat and indoor cats.
