Obsessive Little Fruitloop!

I am, of course, talking about my cat.

In addition to plucking a huge hank of fur out of her left flank, her anxiety, coupled with a hefty dose of obsessive-compulsive behavior, has now lead her to start deforesting her tail, as well. Of course, when she does this, the skin gets irritated, resulting in yet more licking, more irritation, more licking....

You get the idea.

Come Saturday, we're off to the vet. Necessary trauma. I want to make sure some underlying allergy or other condition isn't behind this whole pluckfest. And short of kitty prozac, I want to ask the vet what I can do (aromatherapy, Rescue Remedy) to ease the anxiety rattling around inside that little furry head.

*sigh*

More later.

Oh, poor kitty, *hugs* to mommy.

Our big dog, George Bernard, has come up with a lump on his leg where he licked off the fur. We tried bandaging it-but he discovered he could eat the bandage. Sigh. Looks like we'll be out buying a cone this weekend.

Nothing like an 85 pound cone-head in the house...

Cheers!
