Hi iluvcats2
I can't tell you anything about liver spots but I wanted to welcome you to The Cat Site. We do have others here who are very knowledgeable and give excellent advice, they may be able to answer your questions. Also, the cat related forums here contain information on a wide variety of subjects and are constantly changing. They are a good way to learn new information.
I hope you enjoy yourself here and I hope to see you posting often!

I also wanted to welcome you to the site. I don't have any experience with liver spots, either. Just the local welcome wagon!

You may want to post your question in the Health & Nutrition forum where more of our health experts will see it.

thanks
lorie and heidi

I am moving this post over to Health and Nutrition, so that maybe someone with an answer will be more likely to see it.

Welcome.

P.S. I also deleted the other thread you posted so that the information isn't duplicated.

I havn't heard much about liver spots and cats. I would maybe talk to the vet about a payment plan and have some bloodwork done, there may be something else going on.
