Face markings

[Monkey and Bare]

Hello all, just a couple of quick questions about my boys face - has any one else’s ever hurt themselves like this? (Photo attached) It may have been when he was playing with his sister but I wasn’t here to see it!

Also, interested to know if anyone else’s has a birthmark like Bare does?

Thank you x

I've seen cuts kind of like that. At first it worried me but if it's not deep it should heal itself in a day or 2. I would clean it with Veterycin to make sure it can't get infected. Cool birthmark btw.

Not sure if it is all Sphynx cats or just mine but she seems to be quite clumsy. She quite often will run up the stairs and miss and smash her face against the step. She quite often has marks on her cheek. Maybe your cat is clumsy too.

Orpheus is so clumsy it's not even funny. He often miss judges jumps and hits his head or other body parts as he falls. He also has bumped his back before leaving light bruises that fade in a couple days. But he usually only gets scratches that are self inflicted and that's usually inbetween claw clipping times and they have gotten a tiny bit long. If it's not deep I wouldn't worry just keep it clean with a antiseptic or warm salt water and it should heal pretty quick
