The above post should have been addressed to Lindarn, whose cat apparently suffered from the same condition.

Hey I was searching to see what might be wrong with my kitty. She is strictly a house cat and we live in the upstairs apt. so she doesn't have fleas. But after reading all of these stories and thought about Extra Virgin Organic Olive oil. If it can heal Herpes (as they tell u online), I'm going to try it, and my cat can lick it and it won't hurt her intestines. Why don't u try it. Have a good evening.

Please take your cat to the vet before you try any home-made remedies, as you can end up making a bad problem worse (albeit unintentionally) that way. That is the only way to get a sure diagnosis. You can, by all means, discuss the olive oil treatment with the vet.

Odd, that doesn't look like the type from a food allergy.
Poor cutie baby. Adorable pose with her cute feet like that :)

What has the Vet said about those sores? Could they be "self inflicted"? Some cats will bite at themselves or pull their hair out until they bleed :frown:. Have you ever tried putting anything on the sores, and/or putting a cone on her so she can't get to them and given them time to heal?
