I have 2 indoor cats and just recently moved twice in 2 months. They are both treated with Revolution. My 1 1/2 year old boy is licking the hair off his front arm and starting on the second going up his shoulder. He had fleas before, but I used Revolution and I don't see any fleas or flea dirt. I don't know what is wrong. He has a good food and no chicken. The older cat is 14 and she doesn't want to play. He tries, so could it be he's bored? Please help.
Any help for the flea prevention, and over grooming and any ideas on how to help with his nervousness, and any home remedies for any of these problems would be very appreciated. So if anybody can help with what I can put on his arms where he's over groomed, in a few spots he's almost at the skin like a buzz cut. Can I put anything on it to help with the itch or if it's hot. If there is anything natural, a home remedy?

I too have an older cat, 13 yrs, he had been over grooming and had eaten all the hair off his belly, rear end, and outer legs/hips area. He also had some small sores on his neck, which I thought was from the younger cat biting him when they would play, turns out I think it was from him scratching all the time, you could tell he was itchy from all the scratching. I thought it was just stress since we had gotten a younger cat and he chases the older one around all the time. I started finding small white seed like things where he would lay. These turned out to be dried tapeworm segments.
We had a dog who was licking her lower legs to the point she also had a buzz cut. Took her to the vet, who took a scrapping to make sure there weren't any underlying causes and then advised that she be given 25mg of Benadryl orally. Benadryl is an antihistamine that can be purchased over the counter at your pharmacy.
