I always feel this crawly sensation on my arms that feels like a fly landing on me, but there is no fly. Usually I brush the area with my hand, because if I look close there is usually a cat hair or a hair from my head on the itchy spot. It seems like when a hair or cat hair lands on my arm, my body hairs sense the light touch as a bug, maybe? Do u think shaving will help this? I have a lot of arm hairs.

No.
I'll let one YA! MOTHER respond: "NO NO NO NO NO - my daughter shaved her arms when she was 14 and when it grew back she looked like a monkey."
Another example from YA! member: "i have shaven my arm hair a fair bit and now i really regret it and i want to grow it out but it is really dark but MY HAIR WASNT EVEN THAT DARK AND IT IS ONLY IN PLACES and i cant use home bleaching kits or hydrogen proxide or anything like that i was just wondering if there are any home remedies i can use to lighten it"
When I was younger, I used to have arm hair, but the frequent wear of long sleeves, & exfoliating each time you take a shower . . . . . thins them, now @ 62, you can’t even see a single one!
There are many celebrities with hairy arms, mustache. Leave them alone.
JLo, Penelope Cruz, Demi Moore all have them, take a closer look next time you watch Idol.
Victoria Newman of the Young & the Restless have them, too!
That's natural if you're Asian, Italian, Iranian, Latina, etc, even blonde haired girls.
BTW: "In Europe they don't care about hair on their arms, legs, facial, pubes, ONLY in America. If God wanted hair there, why did women have to worry so much about them, and men don't?" ~ Madonna Dec. 2013 issue Bazaar mag.
?
Maybe. Its a pain to shave your arms all the time though, and the stubbly arm hairs suck.

No. You should use some moisturizing lotion to thicken and flatten the hair to make it less sensitive.
