Can't someone help?
I have three cats in my house, they are all mixed breeds and 2 of them are very social and loving. the third however is named Stormie. I don't know exactly how old Stormie is, but over last summer I took an optional summer phys ed class in Muncie. My mother was taking me to school one day when I was sick and a little kitten ran out in front of us. The only reason we didn't hit her was because Mom had been driving slowly while I hung out the door getting sick. My mother, who has a very big heart stopped the car and said "Oh Audrey! Go get it, it's gonna get ran over!!!" So I did. upon my catching her she bit me and drew blood, which I expected bc we had almost hit her a few minutes before. We proceeded to bring her home and give her a flea bath bc she was so covered in fleas her gums were white. It was really sad the shape she was in. She didn't even look like she was big enough to eat solid food. Well, time has passed and now she is still the most unsociable little witch you would ever find, lol. I love her to death and catch her and hold her for at least an hour every day, but she still has this very strong fear of people, even me. She recently had fleas again, along with my other 2 cat's (Trinity and Trigger) so my mother and I frontlined them all. Since then she developed these sores on the back of her neck, which we thought were an allergic reaction. Last week though when she was sitting on my bed I noticed how much worse they were and how she was scratching the scabs back open over and over and making it worse. Since then I have proceeded to keep her neck and all four paws wrapped so she can't dig it back open some more, but every chance she get's she makes herself bleed again. Does anyone know How I can keep her from hurting herself?
Please Help!!!
