Question
My cat is a stray that I took in about a year ago.  She is very playful and eats all the time.  Yet she can have sneezing             fits where boogers fly and pulls out tufts of hair from her hind end until there are bald spots.  I've already taken her to the vet and we ruled out fleas cause she has none.  Come to think of it she didn't have any when she was a stray either.  I don't know if she is just a cat that sneezes on a regular basis and has grooming OCD or if it is something else.  Please help!!!!  Any kind of clue would be great!  Thanks!!  

Answer
Hi Clarissa,

Cats are very good at grooming fleas off them. But that doesn't mean that they are not there. It sounds like she has a flea allergy. Try using Advantage or Frontline for cats. See how she is. I think you will see a vast improvement in her. Good luck and let me know what happens.

Ciao, Karen
