Her favorite thing to do.

I need to try to find a more secure harness. Problem is she’s very fluffy and her head is small so she can slip out haha

Luna used to love to go out and would be out forever now sometimes she wants to come back in moments after being out! And she mostly just lays in the sun on the deck or front garden when she does go out haha

Cats can be strange.
Have you thought about triming down her fur a little?

I have gotten her shaved a couple of times but she hates it and I think she looks weird LOL but maybe I could just do a little trim instead of a full shave.

Yeah.
My cat pulls her fur out when she's stressed, she never done this until after she came home from the vets after she got spayed.

I have some harnesses but Luna hates them and has slipped out of even the supposedly super secure ones. I was thinking of getting her used to it though and taking her on walks haha

My aunt has a harness for her cats. I stayed there for a week and trained her cat with it. Basically I put him in it then I'd take it off increasing the amount of time. Then I added the leash. Once he realized he could go outside he didn't mind it. He was crazy rolling in the grass. He passed away last year, but he was a pretty cool cat.

Awww

I can't figure out how to get her to stop doing the hair pulling thing.

Have you brought her to the vet or called them to ask the what they suggest? Sounds like either stress or some underlying issue.

Does her skin look different?

It's a stress thing.

Both cats have a treatable condition called Flea Allergy Dermatitis, they're allergic to flea saliva. Been battling this for a long while, my mom's cat has it worse, since she's more sensitive then mine. Living in a sandy area doesn't help the situation.
Flea baths + Itch Soothing Baths + Flea drops.

We spray the furniture, & carpets with flea killer too, but it does very little. Summer is horrible when it comes to fleas.

Since it's cold out now, fleas aren't really much of a problem right now.

Yeah it could possibly be a good or environmental allergy or something.
