    hit butt is bleeding

    he could get a parasite from fleas. Most likely if he has had or has fleas he has some sort of parasite. Ringworm, whip worm, hook worm. Could be anything. Meds from your vet will take care of any of that. But get your baby to the vet asap.

    Are cats allowed outside?

    Ihave 2 indoor cats and one outdoor. One of my indoor cats at one point was extremely interested in getting outside. Sooo I let her out. SUpervised by me of course.

    hello from newbie Frisky's broken-hearted mom

    Sounds to me like an anal gland is leaking. Is he leaving brown stains on things? That smell ungodly? You can actually express the anal glands yourself.

He said.. 'Yes she does , she...
