…I munched the fur off my tummy.

Does your cat do this? Chew the fur off of his/her tummy? I’ve had several cats do this, with Dougall being the most recent. Cats do this sometimes because of stress or parasites, but they also do it because they’re allergic to something in their environment. That was the case with two former cats of mine. Some allergen was bothering them, making their skin itch. The vet prescribed an over-the-counter antihistamine, and it did the job. I’m trying that on Dougall now and so far am having limited success. He’s solidly behind the “Bald Is Beautiful” campaign.

Dougall has gorgeous fur. Long, silky, soft, beautiful fur. It’s a travesty what he’s done…like taking a crayon to Botticelli’s Birth of Venus. And I know…oh, I know…that the missing fur will reappear as a Brillo pad-size cat puke. It’s just a matter of time.{sigh}
