WHAT'S UP PUSSYCAT?

We've been suffering from a bit of a heat wave the last couple of weeks. Temperatures have been in the high 20s to low 30s.  Without air conditioning in our home, it makes for very long, hot days and even longer, stickier, sizzling nights.

For the most part, Aimee has been basking in the sunshine, although sometimes I wonder if she isn't a bit over-heated with all that fur.

What I've been noticing for the past couple of weeks (since the heat wave started and when Aimee's kittens were all adopted out) is that she is starting to slowly pull her fur out.  In a couple of areas, she has actually managed to make bald spots from the constant grooming and pulling.  I was alarmed to find this amount of fur on my work chair after coming home today:

Aimee has a follow-up appointment with the vet this Monday, so I'm hoping that the vet will have some solid answers as to why she's wanting to become a sphynx kitty.
