Hi Everyone!
Hoping to get some advice about my 3 year old kitty(Domestic Short-haired), She has been to the vets several times regarding this matter but a year on and we are no better off than when it started.
Through the day she is meowing quite loudly for prolonged periods of time, She stops when I go to her but that's only a short lived solution as she will start again, it's quite a high pitched meowing, She also has an issue with compulsive grooming to the point she will cause sore patches and patches of fur been left on the floor.
We have tried everything for vet has suggested, toys, aroma plug in thing(Feliway) sprays, she gets lots of attention through the day as I'm always home but it doesn't seem to be helping.
She isn't bad at night, usually she will cuddle up on my legs on the bed and sleep but through the day it's becoming quite a nightmare.
She has lots of plah sessions with her toys and me through the day but it doesn't seem to help for long.
She has a sister kitty who she plays with occasionally but more often than not she does her own thing.
She also has her own room filled with toys, scratching posts, cat tower, beds, large window to look out of(the door is always open, she's never closed in there).
She's always up to date with her flea treatment, she gets wet food(Hi-Life) every other day and dry biscuits in a feeder all the time, she has several places for water and dry food and also 3 litter trays in different places which are always kept clean with Pet-Fresh disinfectant spray.
Really as a loss on what to do to help her now, she's an indoor kitty(always has been) but she has a very large variety of stimulation toys.
The vet said it could be caused by Stress or allergies(but allergies wouldn't explain the prolonged meowing throughout the day), she has had lots of tests done at the vets and they can't seem to pin point the cause of the over grooming(causing sore patches) and small clumps of fur been found.
Any advice at all would be amazing, think I've covered everything but please feel free to ask anything as I am currently feeling like the world's worst kitty parent.
