kitty acupuncture?

Does anyone know of a local cat acupuncturist? I've tried everything to help my cat get over her habit of pulling out her fur with her teeth (vet exams, tests for parasites/infections etc. (negative), changing food several times, medications (first prednisone, now cyclosporine), and so on. I'm thinking I have to go holistic. She's getting mighty impressive bald spots on her tummy and legs.

This isn't slim. Our cat is allergic to corn, too. It makes her stomach feel bad, so she licks her tummy. The result is a lot like what you describe.

If your cat goes outside, while you're trying to get her off corn you'll want to keep her inside. I think our cat who has tummy hair issues isn't just allergic to corn, but also to something outside.
