Re: advice needed

Could it be an allergy? have you changed your washing powder and washed his bedding, or put anything on the carpet or places he sleeps, or changed his food?

Re: advice needed

i had a cat called Molly, and she had just the same! treating it with antibiotics did the trick, but when it happened on her neck she made such a mess of herself by scratching. my fab vet said he wanted to cut it out to test it, and it came back that she was allergic to house mites, dust mites...you name it!! a course of injections did the trick...and she was fine after that for 7 years

hope you get it solved x

It wouldnt hurt to take him for a check over and mention it to your vet, he looks like a real cutie, I love black cats
