Melbcat keeps licking herself in the exact same place and has made an itchy hotspot…

I can’t find her cone of shame to stop her and it’s a hassle to buy a bib but I managed to get a baby onesie that might fit over her upper body and stop her accessing it.

if it's stress, I got misha one of those fake fur spreads from the reject shop and she obsessively grooms that when upset instead.

Yeah it started during cleaning for an inspection (she hates cleaning and I’d run out of zylkene) and it’s persisted for some reason. She’s back on the zylkene but a lower dose than previously

I have a faux fur blanket but she doesn’t lick it
