any advice for how to help a neurotic over grooming cat? my step-cat has had an issue with over grooming her stomach after the vet shaved it many moths ago, so the fur has never grown back. Its been worrysome but not bad bad, but now she's moved on to the inside of her legs, even licking them sore :( how to help her stop? an issue is that she is a neurotic and distrustful old lady who is incredibly fat so no cat suit fits her. another issue is that she lives with the parents of my girlfriend, and my mother-in-law is in denial about the severity of the problem, and don't want to do something the cat dislikes too much (she is afraid of the hard worn trust of the cat being broken). In past she's tried a cone and also a baby onesie, but MIL thought it was too much fuss as nothing fit perfectly (and also she kept accusing my girlfriend and me of relishing in the cat's pathetic misery (the cat was indeed so funny through all of this but we were very much acting out of concerned urgency))
tbh if a girl fell asleep on me she’s getting the full cat experience like i’d die before disturbing you “oh just wake me up” like stfu no i will sit there with my locked up joints for hours making this face at you🥺
