Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / July 2006yikes !
ok,this is weird, i let Oreo in about 3 am this morn to eat,that's normal , i noticed a whitish patch about an inch long & almost as wide on his back just below his shoulderblades, i thought "well he just got into some paint somewhere,i'll try to remove it later, well, as i was bending down to look at it, i said "good grief!' his fur looked (& felt) as if it had been shaved off !!!!! it was smooth,not bloody or ragged looking,but looked slightly irritated. could he have gotten caught on something that did that, or did someone pin my baby down & shave him ???!!??? that's the only spot i found but it's got me worried that it could happen again,i just let him back outside a couple hr. ago,he's so used to coming & going as he pleases it's hard to keep him in,he starts crying & scratching on the door if i do'nt let him out! > ok,this is weird, i let Oreo in about 3 am this morn to eat,that's normal , > i noticed a whitish patch about an inch long & almost as wide on his back [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > hard to keep him in,he starts crying & scratching on the door if i do'nt let > him out! Anything can happen when you let your cat outside. Put up with the crying and scratching and train him to stay in until you can afford to put up catproof fencing in your back yard or something similar. That is, if it would upset you to find him mauled by dogs or hung by some cat-hating freak or worse. Also, someone could just take him--to be a lab cat, or to keep as a pet. >ok,this is weird, i let Oreo in about 3 am this morn to eat,that's normal , >i noticed a whitish patch about an inch long & almost as wide on his back [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >hard to keep him in,he starts crying & scratching on the door if i do'nt let >him out! And you let him back out ?!?!?!? What do you use that thing on your shoulders for other then a hat rack ?!?!? I have a cat that will pull out her hair in patches. No explanation as to why. She seems healthy, but she is a little high strung at times. > >ok,this is weird, i let Oreo in about 3 am this morn to eat,that's normal , > >i noticed a whitish patch about an inch long & almost as wide on his back [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > What do you use that thing on your shoulders for other then a hat > rack ?!?!? > I have a cat that will pull out her hair in patches. No explanation as > to why. She seems healthy, but she is a little high strung at times. that sounds like a nervous thing to do It sounds like he scraped it on something, you might put some iodine or betadine on to help it heal. For his safety he's better off inside, especially at night. Crying and scratching is a kid-thing to do and you are the adult. Pretend he's a human toddler whining and whining to go outside, but you have to say no. He'll get used to it. Right now, all he knows is if he cries loud or long enough, he gets to go out.
