All white cats are not prone to itching in one spot. He may stop because it becomes too painful .

Can you see any blackheads on his chin?

Changing his food to a quality grain free will only benefit your cats. They are carnivores, not omnivores. Cats have a very highly unforgiving digestive system, unlike dogs, or humans, their requirement is quite exact.

Genetics can play a huge roll in how our bodies react to different things, including allergies. There is no harm in changing his food to see if it works, if not, a trip to the vet to get a skin scraping may answer your question.

The two that I have used with Jasper to get him to stop are:

Wellness, grain free and Nature's Variety Instinct. Both are good foods. My cats prefer the Instinct, but there are others that prefer Wellness.
