So back story.. moved from a victorian terrace in the summer, had a tiny back yard and a lovely but crackers neighbour who fed every cat in the neighbourhood; cue a massive turf war and a tiny tiny territory for my boy. He was very miserable about it when we moved and had got depressed and chubby, he barely went out.
Now in a small country terrace of 5 houses on their own with a long winding garden and no other cats in the row. He's delighted. Overgrown fields out the back, all steep. He lost loads of weight in the summer as suddenly so active post move, but has chubbed up a bit now.
In the last couple of weeks he is constantly covered in scratches and scabs around his face neck and shoulders. I don't think its another cat he's too relaxed and unstressed, and dont think its brambles as so much has died back in the gardens. Could be brambles in the field but I'm not sure he'd be arsed. He likes hunting now, but isn't very good at it, he's maybe brought home 5 or 6 tiny rodents since June. What could he be scrapping with?? He's certainty patient and persistent. He held a two week vidgil over a bush in the summer as he thought there was something in there (never did find out). The cuts and scabs are slowly getting worse, he has about 5 at the mo.
