 | |  | | That's not a good sign. Cats are very clean creatures. Amber even grooms herself after being petted. She must think she is even cleaner than I am! Something is definitely wrong with this poor cat. Is the coat now harsh or greasy? Does she have mats? It sounds like she is probably sick. Amber always grooms herself after she eats, too. Your mother's cat might be in pain. Because of her age, I suspect arthritis. Is she overweight? Have you noticed any drooling? Sometimes something as simple as a lifestyle change can cause a cat to stop grooming. Have your mom start brushing her cat on a daily basis. Since she is an older cat, she probably needs some help. It's crucial to remove shed hair before they form mats. Brushing her may help get her back into the habit of grooming. If she is overweight, give her rear end special grooming attention, as fat cats just can't reach. |  |  | |  |
