witch hazel use on a cat

Question
My cat itches, especially around her neck.  2 vets have said 'it's all in her mind' (but when she sleeps on the pillow next to me for a couple of nights, I wake up itching too!?!)  Her scratching and biting causes sores.  She licks out clumps of hair on a scab and ends up swallowing it, unless I'm right there to take it out of her mouth.

Would it be safe to use witch hazel on the itchy places, and would it likely do any good?

Thanks

Answer
Fanya, I am so sorry for you and your cat!  Can you find another vet?  I would get a second opinion on this.
Yes, you can use a little Witch HAZEL on the area.... It won't do too much but take the itch away for a few hours.
YOU can also try some NuVET - mixed into her cat food or feed as a treat:

here is the info on NuVET:

Next, you may want the NuVET Supplement/  1/2 per day would be great for digestion and skin/coat health.
NUVET keeps the vet away...
go here and order the 60 count of NuVET wafers/ get the dog wafers - AS CATS seem to like them MUCH better / the dog and cat formula is the same / cat is a white powder....CATS do like the wafers better///
they need just 1/2 per day per cat:
a 60 count is 39.00  ( that is 4 months of NuVET )
Once they are older, you can try a full wafer - Many cats do great on just the 1/2  wafer NuVET per day>>>>>>
