Wondering if the power of Mumsnet can help us here. Our cat has started pulling clumps of his fur our which we are finding all over the house. He doesn't visibly have any bald patches and he is an indoor cat (has been since we got him nearly a year ago), and this has only started in the last couple months. We wondered if it was because of all the Xmas decs but we've figured out it started before we decorated the house. There's been no real change in our routine and we haven't had hordes of visitors over the holidays, only my MIL for the last two days (she didn't stay with us, so no change in nighttime routine for the cat) and we've been out with her and the cat seemed to like her anyway as he came and sat on her lap all night!
We're worried that he is suffering and want to help him. He seems ok in himself apart from the fur clumps, he had a couple of "accidents" on the carpet recently which we put down to a dirty litter box, or could this be connected in someway?
Hope you can help, thanks
