Pruritus in cats is increasing. It’s an unpleasant condition, with the constant and irritating itch demanding to be scratched. The scratching alleviates it to some extent, but it returns quickly, so the scratching is repeated, until sores or broken skin appears. 

Now the scratching is painful, too, but still the itch demands attention.

Cats who scratch themselves raw are often diagnosed with a flea allergy. However, this is a very simplistic view of the condition. 

The common areas can be a rash on the neck, on the back or on the tummy and inner back legs.

Why is this happening? Why is it becoming more common now?

Everything your cat does, or anyone does, that can be considered to be detrimental to their well being, is to alleviate a discomfort.

Something is badly wrong. There is inner disharmony.

Disharmony can come from a physical toxin or a mental/emotional one.

In the case of pruritus in cats, the disharmony is a toxin, or three, attempting to be released through the skin.

The way a body tries to excrete a toxin can be through the normal elimination channels of the bowels and renal systems. It can also be through the skin.

There are two major sources of toxins in anyone, cats included - vaccines and diet.

The function of vaccines is to stimulate the immune system. This puts the immune system into a constant state of hyper alertness. Any tiny stimulation creates an over-the-top reaction. This is what allergies are all about – the immune system over reacting.

The immune system is already perfect. It simply needs to be supported. In accordance with Natural Laws.

Vaxxines are a composite of chemicals alien to the body.

Cats, being the highly sensitive beings they are, are much more affected by these chemicals, which by-pass all the natural body defences that guard against such intruders.

Repeated onslaughts tend to exacerbate this condition, with each new stimulation.

Commercial cat food contains many chemicals in an effort to provide nutrients to very bad quality 'food', to flavour, to colour and to preserve. 

The veterinary solution to this distressing problem is to add in more drugs, so more toxins. They don't understand the cause. This makes the whole condition worse, as now the cat has to try to eliminate even more toxins, when they were already at overload.

What can you do to alleviate your cat’s scratching?

One of the first things that only you can do is to start feeding your cat a healthy raw meat and bones diet. This supports the healthy toxin elimination.

The second thing you can do is to use the services of a homeopath or real homeopathic vet. 

Homeopathy is supportive of your cats natural health. Problems evaporate.

Your job is to get the diet right. And that can go a long way in healing pruritus in cats, perhaps completely. Good homeopathic treatment can complete the healing, if necessary. Without any drugs, any toxins.
