She is 11 years old and I have had her since she was 6 weeks old. She sleeps in bed by me so it gets kind of bothersome she's always biting at herself and ripping chunks of hair out. It's calmed down in the past 3 weeks though. It just started in July maybe so it's a new condition. Maybe the new food I bought for her. Maybe I need to stick with what she's used to. She isn't a fish type of kitty. She likes birds (chicken). So much for buying something that was cheaper. I ran across this looking through my FB account and this is what my cat is doing also.

I have a condition myself called trichotillomania, which means I also pull out my hair. Its a form of OCD. Of course, it may be tough to find out what is really going on inside the cat's head via therapy (LOL), but I believe a healthy diet is a fantastic place to start.
