Does the cat have to wear the "funnel" for very long to break the habit? (I'm not sure if it would be harder for me or for him. Think how uncomfortable and frustrating that thing must be. Ugh.) Still, I fear that if he doesn't stop, he's going to develop some infections or worse.

As suggested, I'm trying to spend more time with him and get him to play more. I do think that may help because of the way he reacts and his attitude. He's already a friendly cat but going out of my way to give him extra attention seems to bring out his good qualities. Thanks!

I've done some more research on other web sites and am surprised at the variety of cures that are suggested for this problem... even herbal remedies and acupuncture! Actually, some of the herbal stuff sounds tempting... Does anyone know a cat this has helped?

Thanks.
