I can't enlarge the pictures enough to really see well, but it kind of looks like there is a wound in the center in the 3rd and 4th pic. Is that true? How many of these spots are there? This could be a bite(s) of some sort. Can you tell us more. Did this just appear over night, or what are the circumstances here? Is this an indoor/outdoor cat, are there other animals that he/she could have gotten in a fight with, spiders, snakes, etc. in the area?

Welcome to TCS! :wave3: I agree with the above member and a little more information would be helpful. However, it does appear that your cat needs medical treatment and I would suggest contacting your vet as soon as possible. Please keep us updated.

this is an outdoor cat, i.e. it lives outside and goes everywhere and knows how to sometimes chase and push other cats. This appeared 15 days ago, and it's like she lost her voice a little, she gave birth 2 month ago and drinks water from my pool, which is clean but has chlorine and other things to purify it. I don't know if this can affect maybe some bacteria or if it's just bites because she has circles around her neck where her hair is missing and like a red dot in the middle of that circle

I would definitely get her to the vet as infection could easily set in and it could become infected. You may need to work with an experienced trapper to get her to the vet.

For that reason please bring her to a vet if there's any way you can. She should be examined and get medical treatment. Thank you for trying to help her. :rbheart:

This looks serious. It could even be a bite or a ruptured abscess. Only a vet can exam and give you a solid answer. Please take her to the vet. I'd hate for something to happen to her.
