My cat Twinkie started mowing down her hair in March when she turned 1 year old. It progressed from a tiny spot until 60% of her body was bald. She never broke skin and I tried air purifiers, hydrocortisone, pheromones, changing food, salmon oil, playing more…anything the internet suggested...

Normal playing. If they are quiet and there’s no blood then it’s play. Also, they take turns chasing, pouncing, pinning down and each side comes back for more. Sounds like they are having a blast.

Twinkie having a snooze

Hello! This is Twinkie…she loves to eat all things chicken and is incredibly well behaved…scratches only on her posts, goes in her litter box, and sleeps all night! I am thankful because I would not have the heart to say NO to her…too cute. We live in Manhattan and she dreams of catching pigeons.
