My cat has developed an obsessive compulsive disorder and over grooms, causing bald spots and bloody scabs. She sucks on her skin and pulls out fur. She has been on anxiety tablets and these have helped a lot - on top it has cleared up perfectly, however underneath on her belly and sides she has started up licking and sucking and has caused havoc.

My question. Have any of you with cats that have experienced a similar problem, has the cat eventually healed and the behavioural problem gone away?

Do you think she needs stronger anxiety tablets until she is all cleared up and her fur grows back?

*I believe her over grooming/OCD began when she had a flea infection, and even though the fleas are gone & have been treated, the behavior still remains.

* She is half Burmese and I read on the net that Oriental breeds can be a bit nutty!!

Thanks so much. Any advice is welcome. I am seeing a Vet, just wanted some advice from cat owners with a similar experience.

What should we do in San Antonio? And how many nights do you recommend? We want to see a couple of Spurs games next year but not sure what else is great to see, apart from The Riverwalk and Alamo. Is the Mexican area good? Thanks.

*Also I like the look of Mansion Del Rio Hotel on The Riverwalk - anyone stayed here? How far is the AT & T Center from town?

I have just given my cat a worming tablet (Advantage). How long until the worms are dead? Thanks so much.

*My cat has had fleas, the fleas are gone and now her appetite has increased by 5 times. I read the cat can ingest worms from the fleas - yuk.

My cat has dermatitis from fleas. I have taken her twice to the vet and she has had needles, anti biotics and Advantage to kill off the fleas. The fleas are gone but she will not stop licking and picking the scabs (sorry! gross) and it seems to get better, and then go two steps back to worse and bloody and bright pink.

Has anyone experienced something similar with their cat? Will it eventually heal? I am worried it will never get better.

*The Vet doesn't think that the cone on the head will be effective.

Thanks :)

We are heading to San Antonio as a part of our honeymoon. Is 3 nights enough to see the major sights?

What is La Villita like?

Can you recommend any bars, clubs, restaurants, shops to visit?

Thanks so much :)

How do I Introduce my cat to a new kitten? Should I get another female? I have heard the males, even when fixed, might hump her!

Thanks all :)

Hi all, I bought an iPod Shuffle (1GB) today, and I am trying to charge it and it is taking hours. Way longer than the 4 hours Mac says it takes.

The USB is plugged into the computer as directed.

Can anyone help? I have tried the Mac support webpage and everything.

Thanks

Hi all, my 2 year old cat was attacked and her ear has a tear down the middle, and the tip of her ear has now curled a bit. A little scab has cleared and fallen off, making the gap/tear bigger. Should I just leave it, or can this be stitched back together? My brother's cat had the same thing and the Vet said it can't be done. Any advice welcomed, thanks! I am worried it may tear further or get caught on something.

Hi Guys,

Do you know of any sites where I can watch NBA/ESPN online?

Hope someone can help!

Why does my cat put her paws in her water bowl while drinking? She always leaves one paw in while drinking. Cute, but weird!

The lyrics go something like this: "It's two (up) in the morning girl and the DJ's playing that song.....what ya gonna do....i'm gonna get get get it up....

I want your advice if you have used any of the above brands. Anyone tried Laura Mercier foundation and lipsticks? How about Stila lipstick or Chanel? Want some advice before I go and spend a lot of money on it! Thanks.

I like Revlon Super Lustrous. Any others you can recommend?

What colours of MAC lipstick would suit someone with fair skin and blonde hair? Thanks. I want the shades that have been tried and tested.

Makeup, clothes, products...anything.

I used to be very ambitious, career wise, but now I don't care. Ever since I fell in love, my priorities have changed, and as long as I am happy I don't care about slaving my way to the top, or until I hit a glass ceiling.

I have a great paying job, but it's not my dream job. I work with great people too and don't dread going in. Now I cannot downsize in pay to work in my preferred industry.
