Cats often groom obsessively when they are upset about something. You said that THEY are indoor cats, so I assume that you have more than one cat. The problem may lie in the relationship between the cats. I would need to know more to find a homeopathic remedy, and while calming, tranquilizing remedies are indicated, herbs and pills and tablets are difficult to give to cats. Yours might be different though. I would suggest trying kava-kava, herbal calming tablets, l-tryptophane, or valium. You could try isolating the cat so she is not persecuted by the other cat.
