Now, I have heard of many people being allergic to pets but this is ridiculous...

Last year our mog, Homer, developed what the vet believed to be a psychological problem. He was licking his side so much that he licked himself sore. We put a collar on him and after a few weeks the sore healed and he eventualy stopped harming himself.

However, he has now started again with a vengence. We took him back to the vets and they now want us to take hime for allergy tests! No skin of my nose (pun intended) as he is insured for vetinary treatment but is anyone aware of anything else we can do? Or anything else it may be? I have looked on t'worldwideinterweb and found one or two ideas but I am looking for advice, anecdotal or otherwise, from anyone with similar experiences.

I would be very surprised if someone out there in the Cat box doesn't have some ideas. We seem to have views on everything else;-)

Cheers
