Thanks Michelle,
We haven't had much success with the feliway, but I will bring up the benadryl with my vet.
Thanks!

Yes! My positive Patches does exactly the same thing-- pulls the hair out of her belly and back legs. This is what I do, and what helps. The vet told me to give her 1/6 of a Benadryl pill twice a day. She is hard to pill, and it was defeating the purpose (calming her anxiety) to have to tackle her to do it, so I now get the Benadryl compounded at a compounding pharmacy into cream that I put on the skin inside her ear twice a day (to get a compound, the vet has to call in a prescription, even though Benadryl is otherwise over the counter). It helps enormously. I also have a Feliway pheremone plug-in and I spray Feliway around the space twice per day. Both of these things get the overgrooming under control. If I run out of Benadryl or forget to spray Feliway, either one, she starts at it again.Hope this helps,good luck,MichelleIn a message dated 1/22/05 2:31:30 AM Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:As I just mentioned, my cats are not getting along very well. My positive (DD) has begun overgrooming her tummy and back legs. Does anyone have any ideas about how to deal with this? She seems to fight with them all. :(
