My favorite cat disappeared for a week - but came back (after the snow storm).
I was petting him and noticed he had about half an inch round patch of missing fur on his side. I could feel his rough skin. It looked as if he had a scratch but it didnt look horrible - just the missing fur was disturbing. Im assuming this was from a fight???
After a year of caring for them Im seeing wounds a lot now. One cat has been missing fur on its tail for over a month after 2 nasty bites.
I know fighting is normal for ferals - but should I worry???
I can get him an antibiotic if it is suggested
thanks
