Hi again. Larry has a very frustrating habit of causing injury to himself, and we have absolutely no idea how he does it. We just got back from a long weekend vacation (we have a live-in cat sitter) and Larry had this mark on the left side of his neck. Tonight, we both went to the gym for an hour, and when we got back, he had a bookmatched mark on the right side of his neck! For the life of me, I cannot figure out what he is doing to himself. We don't have anything sharp or dangerous where Larry resides, but he manages to injure himself on a weekly basis. Please ignore his dirty neck -- bath day is tomorrow -- but if you have any ideas what this type of injury could be from, please do reply!
We have seen Larry use things like zippers and cardboard to itch / scratch his face, and he will do that until he gets an abrasion, but this is something new and larger. He doesn't seem to have any pain from it, but we'd still like to keep him healthy and we feel like we're failing to protect him -- from himself.
Are your cats self-mutilating as well?
