I am sorry that it has taken me so long to respond to this post. It has been one of those weeks.....grrrrrrr! At any rate, I am so sorry for your kitties problem. I would have to agree with Destiny....declawing would be a place to start and she could still scratch her face...on furniture and stuff but not hurt herself. It would seem that this all started with what in her eyes was a traumatic event...being locked in the attic.. so it could be emotional. A little post traumatic stress kitty. As for the other cats they could sense illness or even weakness or even a change in her personality that could have knocked her to the bottom of the kitty hierarchy. Have you tried a behavourist?? That may be an idea too but would consider the declawing just to keep her from hurting herself further while you try and help her. Let us know.
