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 minutes straight. Or, she starts chasing her tail and aggressively biting it and hissing. She will also do that for 20 minutes or more, unless someone walks over to her and pets her until she stops. Her lower back, tail, and behind her arms are almost completely bald.
We've taken her to the vet several times. We've changed her diet several times & given her flea medication, it didn't do much. We've also taken her to the vet where she gets steroid shots, that calms the behaviours for about a month, but it eventually starts up again. Does anyone know what's wrong with her? I'm thinking it's something along the lines of feline OCD, but I'm no expert. Thanks to anyone who can help!
