Topic Dog Boards / Behaviour / pulling out kittens fur!!!
- By trinabeanbag [gb] Date 21.09.06 19:56 UTC
we got out rescue kitten back in July and he has settled in really well, he and storm are great pals and spend time chasing each other aroung
d the housse and garden. but i am really concerned the cat is a lovely laid back littkle fellow and is not in the least bit bothered that the dog keeps pulling the fur on his back- so much so that the poor kitty is getting bald patches!!
I am completely at a loss as how to stop it, my vet wasnt much help, and i have to take the cat back to the rspca next month to be neutered and i am really worried that they wont let me take him home again.
has anyone ever come across this before and does anyone have any suggestions as to how we might stop it? many thanks

Haven't had this problem but one of my dogs was sucking the others ears and the fur was getting thin, and my old cat started over grooming them and licking their fur away.  In both cases Shaws Chew Deterrant worked really well.  It has to be reapplied at first tho ;)

Problem with chew dterrent is that the kitten will stop grooming ITSELF

I know that was the first thing that popped into my head too ive thought about making him a wee coat to wear when  they are unsupervised (sounds daft i know but im racking my brain here!!) i even suggested to OH that i put a cage muzzle on the dog when we are not about but we arent keen on that either- so if anyone has any sensible ideas ideas:confused::confused:
