I am asking this question as a precaution because I would rather be safe than sorry.
For the last three or four weeks, we have noticed that the skin on our cat, Snowball, has a very wrinkled or crinklie(sp) feel to it. He doesn't seem to be bothered by itchy skin, and he is hydrated. It is most noticeable near Snowball's tail. Snowball also spends a lot of time in front of a heating vent which is stuck in the open position. Is the strange wrinkled feeling on Snowball's skin just very dry skin caused by excessive heat and dry air? Or is it something more serious?
