My cat's stress grooming won't stop. Tried products, what now?

Question

Hi I have a4 year old female cat who started stress grooming a few months ago, she has suddenley become worse and so we have tried many products within the home to help including sprsys, spot ons and plug in stress relief scents, none of which seem to work. Please can you help. Thank you. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed

If she’s not responded to those things I recommend an anti inflammatory injection from your veterinarian. That will stop the overgrooming and the fur should start to grow in. Then the diffuser and other things you’ve done should reduce the chances of the overgrooming to recurr after the injection wears off.
