My cat has a problem, he has been literly tearing his fur out.?
This has been going on for about a year now. There is no soars, or scabs. He is not scratching. But does have long hair. He seems to be calm all the time. I just recently changed his litter to a pine litter instead of a clay, cause I was told that he could have a allergic reaction to clay litter. I know it is not the mange cause I have another cat and it has not spread to him. He is my baby and I want was in well being. Is this a nerves habit. Or a cronic instict he might have?

I think it's a nervous habit, like biting your nails. Did he have any sort of "trauma"?
My cat started doing that when I went in vacation a couple of years ago. Maybe he thought I wasn't coming back....He still does it on and off - mostly on.

Recently, scientists showed that rats having symptoms that are similar to OCD. Your cat may have some OCD tendencies (which would most likely mean a mental problem).
Try to see a vet and ask about those problems or research animals with OCD to find some answers.
