I was reading because I have a similar, but less severe issue. And am also unwilling to make him an indoor only cat, he thinks that would be much worse than getting in the occasional fight... For the most part I have my cat trained to come in when called. Some nights it takes a few tries, but...

I think my cat likes cold water too. He always used to drink my ice water. He hasn't done it much since I got him a fountain, but I've always wanted to put a thermoelectric chiller on the side for him. Wildly inefficient, but no stranger than a lot of the hoops he has me jump through.

Hi Kris, sorry didn't notice the reply until now. I'll look into the colloidal silver for future issues! He made it into the vet for regular shots yesterday and he wasn't concerned, it has healed nicely. Seems like he might have torn the fur and skin off getting under something in a hurry! I...

Hi, Nothing topical, got it! No car engines that I've ever seen, thinking possible burn? And no other scabs or sores that I've seen. However you got me thinking ad his fur was oddly matted down a couple of days ago... and that's not something I've seen before. I'll keep him in and check him more...
