What can I use on my cat to keep her from licking her fur off. Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | spayed | 10 lbs

You need to diagnose the cause of this behavior in order to treat Pumpkin successfully. It could be stress, fleas, mites, allergies, ringworm, or a medical condition such as hyperthyroidism causing the over-grooming. I'd take her into a vet today for a health check. Best of luck.
