Kaku has always been an anxious shy girl. Most recently she has been grooming her pee pee region till it is almost bald and now the baldness is spreading to beyond that, around the sides of her bottom too. I can't pinpoint a single stress factor that could have contributed to that. She still allows me to pet her and the other cats haven't been bullying her as far as I can tell (maybe Buffy - there was some staring too when Kaku went into the living room). She still scurries around as usual. I should monitor her a bit more.

Speaking of anxious kitties, Boy has been very attention-seeking the past few days. Even to his Dad, who mentioned it today and gave him a pet. I ask myself if I have been petting him enough, or giving him enough attention. Additional food seems to settle him down. But looking at it, it doesn't seem like a case of excessive bullying either (although Tux did dethrone him from his living room chair but he did dominate the TV for a while). He is presently undisturbed on his couch head napping.

Very perplexing...
