I have a few stray cats around where we live, I just have a few questions about them.
1. The one cat has a bunch of scabs around his neck, is this from fighting with other cats, or maybe he has a allergy?
2. The other cat has a bare spot right behind his ears, what is this from? He also sneezes a lot, would this be from a cold?
3. Just a random question. These 2 cats are both male, one is neutered one is not. They are quite friendly and we are pretty sure they were abandoned by the previous owners. They have gotten along completely fine till today. The bigger un-neutered male was grooming himself, and the other cat sat behind him and started grooming himself (he wasn't touching the other cat). Then the bigger cat looked behind himself at the other cat and hissed and swatted at his face. The other cat got scared and ran away. Why did he suddenly lash out like that? It was very weird behavior to me, but there is probably a reason for it.
If you could help me with any of these questions I would be very grateful!
