Hi. We have 2 Main Coon Cats and one of them has been biting and pulling out the hair on both sides of her lower back down near the tail. She's been doing this for quite a while and now has two bare racing stripes leading from her tail to nearly half way up her back...about as far as she can reach. She also pulls out the hair on the lower half of her tail, too...making her look like a small Lion with a Mohawk! At times the area is so sensitive that she doesn't want it to be touched. Also appears that she suddenly starts in on it as if there is something biting her. We've tried every 'over the counter' medicine and trick and advice from friends but we are all stumped. Havn't brought her in to the vet yet. Thought I'd ask here first. I'll see if I have a good photo of it and include it here as soon as I find it. Thanks! TJ.
