I found a few sites that quote that Clomicalm can be given twice a day. One site is: vetinfo4cats.com
"Some cats do seem to respond to medications used for obsessive-compulsive disorders based on anecdotal reports, including clomipramine (Clomicalm Rx, 5mg per cat twice a day), fluoxetine (Prozac Rx, 1 mg/kg once a day) and amitriptyline (Elavil Rx, 2.5 to 10mg per cat once or twice a day). "
and I also found: "I know that many vets are using clomipramine for cats, though. There is a published dosage of 1 to 5 mg/cat per day. The most commonly recommended uses are inappropriate urinary behaviors (urine or stool marking) and psychogenic alopecias, or hairloss that is induced by
obsessive-compulsive grooming behavior on the part of the cat.

The confusing part is that I think it's the same vet, Dr. Mike Richards who provided both quotes!!
I can't remember what the dosage for Paddy was on the stickers on the bottles but he is a really big guy, and I don't think he was prescribed more than 1 tab per day. Are the stickers still legible Jenn?
Does Ally eat wet food? If so, are you able to crush it up and mix it in the food?
My other suggestion was that you could take the two bottles to a compounding pharmacy and usually for about 20.00 (depending on the drug and the number of pills) they can put it into a chicken or fish flavoured suspension that Ally might like or the suspension could be mixed in with her wet food if she eats that.
