cat health problem
I would ask for anyone to please look at the pictures at
http://members.lycos.co.uk/waweldrag...0006/page1.htm and let me know what you think it might be . The history is that this animal had an untreated flea allergy . I eventually managed to take her to a vet on his behalf after much persausion . The flea allergy was treated successfully and the cat (who is an outdoor cat) was (as a gesture to me to show me that he is the boss) was then detained inside every day except for a few hours on a weekend. He initially tried to tell me (eithout my asking) that she "doesnt ask to go out anymore" Now she has this new skin issue as you can see in the photos, although her flea allergy problems appear to have gone. Also she has lost weight. I do not see her at windows. I suspect she is being detained in a way that will make sure I cannot see her. My concern is that (again) this will not be treated, ( he ignores my email about it) and that may be a friction injury to the both sides of her face from a behavioural problem,, or even from attenpting to escape from whereever she is kept It appears quite different to the flea allergy and when that was at its apex these new symptoms were not apparent. I saw her the last 2 weekends and it has got worse. Any ideas as to the possible cause of this problem. Its on both sides as you will see at http://members.lycos.co.uk/waweldrag...0006/page1.htm Many thanks Andrew |

Take this cat back to the vet to get a proper diagnosis.
These look like fight wounds to me. Perhaps the cat was overzealous in scratching at her own itches? |

I doubt if your neighbor is going to permit you to take his cat to the vet again, but it seems clear from the photos that the cat should be examined. Therefore, is there any way that you could convince your neighbor to let you adopt the cat? For example, could you offer to buy the cat and explain how fond you are of her. Don't even try to explain that the cat needs more medical care because it seems that this only annoys this person...you would have to approach this very diplomatically to avoid antagonizing your neighbor still further.
