Today, my sister told me about a website that explained why our stressed cat has been obsessively pulling out the fur on her legs. Interested, I asked for a link. Not just out of deep concern for the cat, but because I have the same problem. FML

There's also this strange condition called "trichotillomania" where people compulsively pick at their hair. Brought on by a variety of factors.

If you have fur on your legs, there might be a bigger problem..

If you have fur on your legs instead of hair, you should probably see a doctor. Or a vet.

For a second, I thought your FML was that you asked the cat for a link.

I have a similar problem where I obsessively pick at the skin on my fingers. I Have never seen a doctor for it, but thinking maybe I should. Good luck to you! Its not fun.

Trichotillomania... I have it too, OP. It's like a mix of self harm and OCD. There are ways they try to fix it, but there's no definite way to cure it. Best of luck, I feel your pain.
