what might this be
I left a hastily composed message a few days ago and a few people
kindly replied, about the problem I have with my neighbor in relation to his cat and my attempts to get the cat some help. There is a history in this forum about it. However, I would again 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 |

m... 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 It's really hard to say what it is. Could still be a flea allergy, fleas could have gotten in the house and reinfested the cat. Also could be ear mites and the irritated areas outside the ear are from her scratching. If I were you, I would report this to whatever animal welfare group you have. She is clearly being neglected. :-( -- -Kelly kelly at farringtons dot net www.kelltek.com Check out www.snittens.com |

My first guess would be some sorta hypersensitivity reaction - possibly to a particular foodstuff.
