Constantly cleaning/licking

[Jan and Buddy]

Buddy is an IAA kitty, but overall health is good. It seems lately he has been cleaning/licking all the time. If he is awake he is usually cleaning.
Is there an opinion that it could possibly be allergies???
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks
Jan and Buddy

Sounds like it could be allergies. Anything change? Food/medications?

 

[Jan and Buddy]

No changes in anything. He pretty much eats all the same food, and doesn't take any meds except a Pepcid occasionally.
Just went back into notes from my last vet visit and she suggested allergy pills for his wheezing. So just gave him a chew-able 10mg wal-mart equate allergy pill. The vet said 20mg, but think I will try the 10 first to see if there is any reaction.
Thanks for input.

Is it possible Buddy could have gotten a flea on him?
I had a cat who was licking and cleaning a lot and i found out i had brought a
flea in to the house.(i guess on my pants or shoes)

Some hypert kitties are over groomers. Anxiety also causes over grooming. Any stray cats in the neighborhood marking territory that would cause anxiety?

Changes at home that might be upsetting? <--- [you don't have to list any, just saying ]
