My cat has recently started scratching herself right around her neck. It's gotten so bad that now shes scratching sores on her neck and they are all around it...and there are no fleas...any ideas on what is wrong with her?

Some cats are really sensitive and only need one flea bite to start of an itch fest that doesn't end. Take your cat to the vet and get a depo shot. That'll fix it right up.

My cat did the same thing after I put flea meds on her, she was allergic. If you have not treated your cat with meds think about other things that she has been exposed to. Does she wear a collar, this could also cause irritation.
If she has dry skin you can add a small amount of oil to her food and it will keep her skin and fur healthy.
If she has ear mites it could also cause her to scratch at her head and neck.
Good Luck

Does she wear a flea collar, or any collar? My cat was allergic to his flea collar and did that.

your kitty could have dry skin, or dermatitis! take her to the vet to save her the suffering of itching all the time....your vet should prescribe something for her itching......possibly like benedryl

you should take her to the vet. She may have some type of skind disorder.
