Oh, and he has lots of toys. Automatic laser pointer running almost constantly, interactive puzzle toys, etc. He just loves to torment our older cat for some reason.

A while back, I posted a thread in regards to our older cat's aggressive behaviour towards our new Abyssinian mix kitten. We have now learned that it was likely just natural cautiousness, and she has since warmed up to him. However, there's just one problem... he won't stop jumping on her and...

That's the thing... she doesn't have many places she can go to escape the kitten unless he's been put in a "kitty time-out". He's an Abyssinian mix, so he loves to climb and will scale just about anything to get at her. I can imagine he wouldn't have a very hard time climbing a cat tree. As for...

Yes, we do pick up the kitten and take him away from her at times, and sometimes we'll even put the kitten in a separate room for about an hour if he becomes too rambunctious and won't leave her alone. Is there anything else you would suggest or do you think we've done everything necessary in...

At the beginning of December, we purchased a 2 month old kitten for the household. He was a birthday gift, but also somewhat of an opportunity for companionship for our 8 year old female who has lived alone her whole life. We read up on how to introduce a kitten to an older cat, and carried out...

A little bit of an update. We gave her about 3 doses of flea medication through July, and she would stop for about 2 days after the initial dose, but after the substance disappears from the back of her neck, she goes right back to over grooming. However, her behaviour has changed a bit...

Thanks for the advice! We're going to try it step by step. We're trying the flea medication now, if that doesn't work we'll try putting her on another diet. I also would like to mention that her licking escalated a ton in 2018 when we purchased two aquatic turtles. We have many reptiles as...

We tried having her on hypoallergenic food, that didn't change anything, then we had her on duck for 6 weeks, she didn't like that one, and nothing changed. Right now we have her on Hill's Science Diet hairball control. The vet doesn't actually know if she has fleas, they just recommended the...

So, my family has owned a Bombay for 7 years. She's an indoor cat. Through the years, she's had a few problems with excessive grooming. It seems to come and go, but it's become especially bad this year. She will sit on our couch and lick her lower back, tail & arms/legs aggressively for 20...
