Hi all,
I finally took the plunge and adopted a little friend for my 8 month old kitty Akila.
His name is Aten and I've had him home for a week (She absolutely adores him already! Couldn't have hoped for more )
He is approx 17 weeks old and was severely malnourished in his younger weeks, and only weighed 2.5 lbs when I brought him home! He's on particular diet and supplements to help him reach his ideal weight as per veterinary guidlines and is up to 3.8lbs already in just 7 days!
Now, he's had some balding on the bridge of his nose since I saw him and ever since I brought him home. It isn't ringworm or mites, the vet said it's likely alopecia from said malnutrition or potentially scarring from another cat or injury.
The vet wasn't able to tell me whether the fur on his nose bridge will ever grow back, but I'm wondering if anyone had ever seen anything like this where the fur on the nose bridge grows back, or will he forever have a freckly little nose?
I adore him nonetheless, just curious!
Poor little guy looks like a seasoned Tom cat already, I cant imagine what happened to him
And one for cuteness
