I have been noticing more and more when I pet my female cat (Bunnie) around the neck there are scabs there. I think her brother is fighting rough with her when hubby and I are at work all day. He's had a few scabs and had a tiny patch of fur missing from the top of his head, too. They are so lovey dovey sometimes with eachother, she loves to give him a bath and they snuggle up together sometimes. I don't know what goes on while we're at work???? Anybody else experience this and have any suggestions?

i guess they must have been playing too hard and end up scratching each other with their nails..maybe it's time to trim their nails shorter.

My first thought was FLEAS. Please search them carefully for fleas and flea dirt.

Are they fixed? He could be trying to mate with her if they aren't fixed.

Good luck!

Oh Gosh, whenever i see a missing patch of hair, my first horrible thought is ringworm!!!!


Horrible stuff, a cat i brought a few years back had it, took forever to get the place ringworm free
