Spicey overgrooming - or not
Spicey was longing on the bed looking very elegant and relaxed, when I
noticed a strange pink spot on her tummy. I snuck closer for a better look, and I found that she had a bald spot. Oh no, she's so stressed that she's been overgrooming! And not only that, but her obsession was such that she'd made that area completely smooth and rectangular with such precise edges and... Oh wait, come to think of it, they must have shaved her at the vet last week for her cytology. |

She didn't groom me very often but when she did get ahold of my hand, wowsa. Jill |

Sandpaper kisses on a cheek or a chin: that is the way for a day to begin! Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr: I have an alarm clock that’s covered in fur!
