I hate to hear this is happening. It could be related to stress or it could be hormonal as Lola is not spayed, yet. Since she can't talk and tell you why this is happening, I recommend to have Lola examined by the veterinarian and to discuss having her spayed. The doctor can also provide medications to help with anxiety. Environmental enrichment may also helps. Here is a great article about cat's instinctual needs: https://www.petcoach.co/article/why-every-cat-needs-a-place-to-climb/ Use a Feliway diffuser, set aside 30 minutes a day for vigorous play and/or switch the food to Royal Canin Calm. Most cats response best to combination therapy. I hope this helps.
