Wickedcube07 - 09 Nov 2006 03:34 GMT My Cat is 1 /12 years old, shes is spayed, got her UTD shots and the past couple of months I noticed she scratches, bites and pulls her hair out, and leaves bald spot/patches on the back area and her hind legs, even her tail. I do not know what is causing this but I cannot afford to take her to the vet and I need to know is there anything I can to do relieve the biting and itching? Any suggestion I kindly aprpeciate right now.

You heartless bitch! He's probably JUST A KID! What do you want to do, drive him AWAY from the GROUP!
Shame on you.
Wickedcube07 - 09 Nov 2006 17:39 GMT I totally agree with u that its a very shameful thing to say to anyone about why they have a cat I mean there are so many thousands of unwanted animals out there who would want a home and someone to love them, I had replied back to that person and today when I came to read my replies it upset me for what they said to me and I dont like this at all. Thanks for the backing me up I appreciate it. Deborah

"There is nothing you can do safely until you take your cat to a vet."
The OP stated that a vet visit is something that is not affordable.
How heartless of you to suggest that this person take the cat to a vet!
Shame on you!

Or he could just drive it out in the country and give it the boot. Or he could save the poor cats a few steps and just drop it off in front of my house like so MANY others have done - I just f@#$ing love being other peoples bitch. The last one I got that way was a darling little girl that was dumped cause she was having a seizure every few weeks that her owners couldn't deal with. And you have the unmitigated gall to give this guy crap over a cat he wants to keep but no one says sh.t when a cat gets dumped. but I digress...
or perhaps he could first try some flea powder or other type of flew treatment which may help it it's an outside cat. ron

Any suggestion I kindly aprpeciate right now. Go to "Google.com" select "Groups" put in the name of this group and use search terms "allergies, fur pulling, bald cat," and such.
There is nothing you can do safely until you take your cat to a vet.
Except ... if it is just stress, find a way to ease her mind. My cat pulled her fur out due to the upset of another cat invading her turf. I stopped that, and her fur grew back. But there are many, many reasons your kitty may be doing this.

Any suggestion I kindly aprpeciate right now. It could be allergies. It could be stress. It could be a mites or something similar. If it's allergies, it could be food allergies, contact allergies or something in the environment. If it's stress, you're the one in the position to guess at the cause. But that's the problem we're all guessing.
I suppose you could look into organizations that assist with vet costs for the indigent
