stressed cat
#21
My cat did the same, spent lots of time and money at the vet. Talked to a pet food store owner and he suggested it was not stress, but the food he was eating. I switched to "grain-free" and that solved the problem immediately and completely.

This did nothing for my 5 cats. Thought about using the liquid drops in water to keep them happy when new fosters come in. Dog is on Clomicalm- works very well!

I think it's called Comfort Zone with Feliway. It stops scratching, marking territory, and generally calms cats down.

Kola was stressed when we moved into our current house. She lived in our walk in closet for about a week. She was terrified of the ceiling fan in the living room. She had never seen one before. My husband says she may have thought it was a large bird.
She calmed down after about 2 weeks.

After reading several of the response I would suggest you go on a search on line for cat sites and you might find something there tha tyou can do yourself (your friend can) that would not caost to much to do it yourself.
Take care.

Also some dust, or other debris the cat is licking off itself.
Try rinsing the cat off with plain warm water.
Cats are often sensitive to softners and detergents used to wash its bedding.
I am too! I itch fiercely!
