I have made a post about this before but it is still happening and I'd like more insight..
My cat is indoor only but is very hyper at certain times during the day so I suspect when he's doing something like running up behind the plastic blinds the edges of the blinds scratch his face. Or could it be fleas and scratches himself with his claws? We applied flea medicine to him when we adopted him which was November 2016 and haven't applied anymore since. He doesn't seem to be constantly itching or scratching himself. These are all recent so he's still hairless in some of the spots. I just noticed the one by his ear and the blood seems to have dried on his fur. Is he just running into things that are sharp enough on the edge to cause those scratches or is it something else?
And how do you recommend I clean it? I've just been wiping the spots with a damp washcloth while he's asleep because I'm not able to get him to stay still when he's up and about. Should I apply anything to it? Is there any kind of neosporin for cats I could get from Petsmart or Petco?
