Hi,
We moved into a new house in August last year where we discovered (and was informed by the neighbours) a feral cat that had been around for years. My Wife immediately felt sorry for this cat and put out a wooden box and bedding for it which the cat seems very happy with as it sleeps in it every night and is greeted by my Wife every morning with some fresh food. After 9 months of this, after much hissing and growling the cat is allowing us to get close to it and very happy to receive lots of fuss and stroking which has also allowed us to take some close up photo's of what at first appeared to be a shaved back but seeing as the cat has had this shaved hair appearance for 9 months or more it would have surely grown back? It does not look like mange after googling but would love to hear your opinions so we can perhaps look at some treatment for it?
Many Thanks
