Oh my - euw, consider me educated, and thank you for the link.

vi04, obviously, I have no idea why this would occur - I'd suggest you take the cat to a vet ASAP.

Thanks For help going there in morning

Glad your going to the vet ... there are many cause s and some are very easy to fix...

Anything can cause a hotspot- a flea bite, a small abrasion, overscratching. There are a number of old wives remedies (Gold Bond, Listerine, witch hazel) but most include removing hair from the area and keeping it dry. Air circulation is paramount.

It turn out it was the New AdvocateÂ[emoji]174[/emoji] for Cats which cause it... wont be using that again.. thanks for all replys
