It was well aired out it had been in storage for over a year, and I shampooed it with
cat shampoo and let it dry. Could this be the cause? He is a indoor
cat, no flees, no redness or sores were he licks either. I have been in this apt for 5 months now. The licking started 3 months ago! The carpet was brand new when I moved in, of course he has thrown up on it, stains of brown Eukanuba Lamb/rice dry food....Wondering if I should have carpet steamed cleaned to see if that the problem?
