My cat is constantly grooming to the point of obsession. Is there anything I can do?

Answer 1

some cats get carried away 'with the cleaning thing;but that's part of being a cat.don;t put pepper like 1 knuckle head on answers saod to do;;. i.ve had cats for 30 yrs or more;and they like to eat;sleep;and clean their selves alot... if your concerned you can call your vet and see what they say..... good-luck to kitty and you,,, ps i bet kitty has a nice shiny coat of fur,,,

Answer 2

Indoor cats do this a lot. Mostly because they are bored. Give it things to keep it occupied and it might cut down on it some. Otherwise it's a natural thing for a cat. My cat was ALWAYS cleaning himself. Just try to brush it at least three times a week and it'll help cut down on the hairballs that it will get from this contant grooming. I hope this helps.

Answer 3

Cats are naturally clean animals. My cats groom themselves a lot too, but try brushing your cat. My cats love it!

Answer 4

Is there such a thing as too much grooming? You might want to ask your vet...but I suspect that your cat is probably fine and that you shouldn't worry about it too much.

Answer 5

They always groom themselves but, if yours does it to much then go to Wal-Mart and buy cat bath wipes and just wipe him down with it every week and maybe he won't feel so dirty

Answer 6

Unless he/she is causing irritation to their skin, or causing fur to become thinner than usual, then it's only your idea of obsession and not the cat's.

Answer 7

That is what cat's do; yours must be an extra clean one.
Happy New Year!

Answer 8

Rub some Black pepper on her coat or where she grooms.
