After I returned from holiday this year I found that my cat had developed bald patches on his back legs. I thought at first it must
be a flea allergy, but despite treatment the patches remained. As time has passed though, I have noticed the fur growing back, and along with his clingy behaviour subsiding, I now think he was pulling his fur out at his distress at being left "home alone" - even though he really likes his pet-sitter. The problem is he has always had another cat for company and he just loves being around people. I won't be going away for a long while again, but I think he needs another cat around to make things easier for him when I do.
