Just moved, cats know excessive licking

[Catlady711]

I'd definately make a vet appt for the cat. Something in the new apt. could be causing allergies. There's also a posibility that the previous tenants had fleas and they could be causing an allergic reaction to the bites (as little as one flea bite can cause a reaction and only large populations of fleas may be visable to you). Stress could be causing it, or even just a hormonal change that sometimes happens with spayed females. Either way a vet check up is your best best. Keep us posted.

Yes, it does sound like it could be an allergy. My Creamsicle licks herself like that and lost a lot of fur. We still haven't pinned down what she's allergic to; we can only keep trying through the process of elimination w/food. Or it could be environmental. Either way, have your vet check it out. And please don't let her out.
