I have a kitten that grooms to the extreme. She has chewed her tail to the bone. Any ideas?

if its not bugs it could be a nervous condition I'v had alot of cats and none ever did this, take her to the vet asap ! She has to have help or she will get an infection also go to google and go to veternarians and check there, Good Luck !

That's not grooming, thats scratching...those are probably fleas..start using Advantage or Frontline for flea control...It also works for pets who are allegic to fleas as well. You can get at your vet's or some pet stores carry it too.

wow i have 7 cats and i didnt know they would do this. take the cat to the vet to have a pro opinion. he'll probably give it a flea mediaction if thats the problem.

My cat does the same thing she chews at her fur and spits it out, till shes bald!!! Shes been doing it for years I tryed everything i think shes compulsive.

Take her to the vet, she might have mange or fleas. she definitely needs medicine for it. some kinds of mange can be given to people

I work for a vet, they can give you some antibiotic for your cat, and check him.
