Just had to pass it along!</em></p>
<p>My rescued, beautiful black cat (&#8220;Elizabeth Taylor&#8221;) has been in our family for 8 years. For 2/3 of that time, she has become obsessed licking her stomach to the point of now having no hair on her belly. Over the years, we took her to the vet who diagnosed her as &#8220;stressed&#8221; and &#8220;self-mutilating&#8221; herself. Kitty-aromatherapy was their solution. Needless to say, it didn&#8217;t work. Then I discovered Cat Chat®. I talked to Tracie in December of last year and she said, before we attack the licking problem, change her food to an all wet, canned food. The kitty had been on an all dry, kibble diet from the beginning.</p>
<p>Well, it took a few days to get her changed to all wet food. I went to Tracie&#8217;s list of recommended foods on her website and discovered Weruva. It took a little doing to find it locally, but I now have a supplier 5 minutes away.</p>
<p>** The End of the Story?? **</p>
<p>*SHE IS A NEW KITTY!!* She has NOT thrown up since changing her food, she has STOPPED LICKING HER BELLY, she is happier and can&#8217;t get enough of the food!! Apparently, all these years, she was trying to tell us that her stomach hurt and I truly believe that was why she was licking it all the time &#8212; it was sore! She couldn&#8217;t be happier, and neither am I. She&#8217;s a big fan of Paw Lickin&#8217; chicken and the MidEast Feast, and grudgingly gobbles Mack and Jack from time to time.</p>
<p>Thank you &#8211; thank you for being so conscientious about what we feed our kitties and for giving them no less than we give ourselves.</p>
<p>Bless you &#8211; &#8220;Elizabeth Taylor Kitty&#8221;</p>
