Dear Cat lovers :)

My cat seems to have a small problem with his tail. He has been in our home for 5 days now and while playing with him I noticed that he has a kind of blackheads on a part of his tail. He has been neutered about 3 months ago. I mention this fact because I've heard that not being neutered can cause problems like this to cats. 
Is there any special shampoo that I could use? How else can I eliminate this problem? I will meet the vet next week, but maybe I could do sth until then on my own :) 

Greetings!
Magda

I would leave them alone until you see the vet.  Where are they on his tail?

It's about 3 cm from where the tail begins ;)

Hmmm...it could be just about anything from flea bites to something else.  Get him to the vet for a check of that.
