I have had cats all my life and have never run across one before I moved out of my mom's we had outdoor cats and they didn't have them either I am soory your kitty had to go through that

[Summer]

Ya me to. He got it from a dog, It was a BIG hole in his neck. He had this big badage on him he looked pitiful 

[Asikovsek]

  ......Thats crazy none of my cats have never had sores how do they get them....my cats are strickly inside cats......maybe the outside cats can get sores easier...I have never heard of cats getting sores

[Summer]

This cat was a outside cat. But now just two my my cats our  indoor/outdoor cats. the rest indoor. 

[FluffBall]

[Summer]

   He's fine now. It took him 8 weeks to get better.

Hi Asikovsek,

My Buster looks just like your pom.     His mom refused to walk on wet grass, also.

Cats usually get sores when they get into a fight ... out side cats do tend to get into fights much more than inside cats.

all so when that are not fixed

Any scratch, cut or nick can abscess.
I had one on a chins eye I believe came from over grooming by her female cage buddy.
Chins being chins, dusting, rolling in the shavings and such it doesn't take much for an infection to set in.
Just as outside cats are into more dirt than if they were inside, though it could happen any way.

[Summer]

Yes any scratch can do that. The first time I ever saw chin a scratch that was abscessed.

[Asikovsek]

 .....Yea I like to keep my cats inside cats because of our location it seems like Fleas are a big problem around here...all my cats and dog are inside animals and I had to get the house bombed 2 times because of fleas.....and of course had to flea treat the animals every month.....Fleas are so evil and a pain to deal with...lol....I seem to have it under control...I am glad Chins can't get fleas....

[Summer]

We have had the wost fleas this year!! I have put flea meds on 5 dog and 10 cats evey month. Plus bombed the house 3 times.We lost one of my baby's about a month ago  , I almost lost her bother too. My vet said the fleas were bad because we had a mild winter.

[FluffBall]

I got lucky I haven't had a flea problema nd we live by woods like 5 feet from our sliding doors I hate fleas that is another reason why my cats are indoor cats

[Asikovsek]

 ...yes the fleas in my area have been absolutely horrible...I hope they are not as bad next summer...
