Hello Fellow Feline Fans,

Ol' Cosmo (our 7yo male cat) is afflicted with a so called "allergy" (Vet's
word for "We haven't a clue) since last winter.

The pattern is the familiar hard, lumpy subdermal mass that then produces a
thick scab. This scab eventually falls off (along with the fur) and leaves a
raw looking wound that can last for weeks before healing and eventual
regrowth of fur.

The wounds never get infected and do not appear to do any better or worse
when using the Vet-provided ointments.

As for allergy sources, we've been thru the lot and cannot find any culprits

As for cat moral, he may suffer from boredom. We try our best to keep him
entertained in a one-bedroom apartment. He's friendly, social, and spends
most of his time either sleeping or hanging out with us. He enjoys playing
and rough housing. No bad habits either.

No other animals in the house... however; we did have a kitten calico in the
place for about 6 months (she had to be put down due to cancer). Cosmo began
his problem when she was still with us.

The vet has seen him on several occasions and has chalked it up to some sort
of allergy.

Any thoughts would be appreciated...

M~
