When my girl's were still kids--we had all kinds of cats--coming and going....
I remmeber that one of them also got that "licking till raw" affliction....

I don't remember exactly--but somehow I think the Vet said it was something to do with
one's nerves....I think the vet gave her a pill to take--or was it a cream to apply????

Hey! it's been about 30 years ago...can't be sure.....

Just for memories---here are my 2 girls with their first 2 kittens. Also brother and sister.
We got them from some kids who had a litter in a cardboard box at out Shopping Center.
The girls named them--Tina and Taffy.

Tina (the whiter one) lived to the ripe old age of 14.

Taffy, we believe, got clipped by a car that damaged the nerve (where it splits) by the tail. rendering him a paraplegic--and also losing control of his urination. Sadly--we had to put him away--

Sorry the picture is so small. This was taken when I still had to re-size every picture s I could save it...
My daughters are now 42 and 45.
