Hi all, my little one that had a UTI a while back and i put him on antibiotics and he got his symptoms back two fold last week and i put him back on a weeks worth of meds at the vet's request as long as i promised to give him an additional week after to see if the problem has cleared up and the older cat (7 y.o.) who is HORRIBLY neurotic since I've had him since he was three weeks old and just this weekend - i live in a cottage in the woods and it's been damp and now very muggy in CT and they are indoor cats but it's very buggy there - he has obsessively been licking his hind legs, his tail and then almost gnawing at the skin around his anus. It's as if he goes on these tangents and then again, he'll just lay down next to me and sleep for hours so it's not something chronic that is keeping him from sleeping. He's had obsessive neurotic behavior since he was a kitten. One of my vets once told me that cats can tend to take on their owner's behavior and after a minute i stopped and thought "Hey, wait a minute..." So, i checked out his anus and it didn't look too inflamed but it was pinkish and i think that's from the constant licking. Anybody have any take on this?

Wow you have a lot going on with your two kitties.
Your cat is defenately attached to you.
