OK, So my cat Zorro is being treated for an abscess and has a drain in, All is going well with the recovery.
He has to wear an e-collar for the next 2 days until the drain comes out.

So my 2 year old cat and i moved at the start of this year into a small, one bedroom apartment with a small balcony. Before this i was living with relatives and zorro was an outdoor cat that could come inside as he pleased, so 50/50 inside/outside
For the past 5 months at the new place he was...
Ok so Zorro gets cuts on his paws from time to time from being an outdoor cat, they are usually small and when i take him to the vet for them all they usually do is clean it up with Chlorhexidine and charge me allot of money. Plus my cat absolutely hates being in moving cars and a trip to the...
This happens every time:
I put zorro up on my table
Layout 20 or so of his favourite treats
He happily eats them, puts his head down.
I try to get a good part in his fur, but he has really short fur.
I finally get a part, touch the plastic vial against his skin, squeeze it.
Watch the...
Over the past couple of days something has appeared on my cats bottom lip im thinking it maybe a kind of mouth ulcer or Granuloma, i'm not 100% sure but i don't remember his lip being different colours its always been black. But this slightly inflamed flesh coloured area has appeared just below...
So me and my cat zorro are moving to a second floor apartment with a balcony. the balcony is roughly 12ft up. I'm worried that if i let him out there he will try jumping off and badly hurt himself.
I suppose my main question is, are cats a good judge of the height they can safely jump from?

After the vet examined...

My cat zorro walked through something with his back paws, the fur is all stuck together with a black tar like substance, about the size of the top of a thumbtack on both rear paws, near the large main pad.
Dilemma is, he hates has rear paws being touched, due to some abrasion injuries when he...
