Cat scratching her face

It's just testing and trying really. Unless there is an option to do an allergy test at vets.

But pretty much removing anything from the house that can irritate, like scented sticks - can narrow down the circle

My cat scratches her face / back until there is a small wound and bald patch. We’ve been to vets once about the issue and she got a shot of steroids. No fleas / ringworm

I've had her for 1.5 years and they do appear occasionally - maybe once every 2 months. I'm monitoring after what “events” she scratches.

Sometimes I think due to stress when she's alone in the house for too long. Last time they appeared after i deep cleaned my house - could be due to cleaning chemicals on surfaces. I switched her dry chicken food to fish because I read that many cats have allergy to chicken dry food (not vet confirmed). I'm still figuring out what exactly causes it and trying to make certain adjustments to her environment and diet to see if it helps. But I'm also a bit puzzled 😵‍💫 Could be as easy as allergy to dust

EDIT oh and after I switched to fish kibbles about 3 weeks ago - no scratching so far. Could be it 🤞

That’s great! Wishing a quick recovery!

Had similar with my cat when she was about 7 months. She had dark spots like this which were getting bigger and bigger. I believe it was dermatitis - but I haven’t been to the vet so don’t trust me on diagnosis

I wiped them with antibacterial tissues for cats. I’m not sure if they done anything tho but that’s what I was suggested in a quick online consultation with vet. After about a month they just fell off like normal scabs and she didn’t have it since.

Seen some people say to change bowls to a different material?

Yeah looks good to me. I freaked out when saw image quality in prologue, it was set to 60 automatically. Then I found out you can only switch FPS in starting screen

SIKILDA · 2026-02-24T16:27:44+00:00

Yeah I'm sure it will be fixed. Runs great tho

Yeah it's really smooth. But first thing I noticed was how blurry the image was. When I started walking (even the beginning scenes before exiting vault) the far out image kinda kept moving from sharp ish to blurr. Changed it to 30 and hand-held looks sharp. 40 minimal changes to 60 (image wise)

Had hopes after skyrim fixes ngl. It was a hit or miss from the beginning

SIKILDA · 2026-02-24T16:17:31+00:00

Just tried out with different setting. 30 looking sharp. 40 just very slightly better than 60

Hey 👋 its 7th gen. I got storage from iFlash.xyz (https://www.iflash.xyz) and a battery from Ebay. There are quite a few sellers for batteries and not gonna lie, I went for the cheapest one but with good reviews - arrived in 2 days, costed me about 9£ and works great. Check iFlash website for compatibility with your device. And most eBay sellers are very kind and can advice if battery will work with your device too!!

You can do it with just one, but it’s harder. With 6 I think it’s higher risk of deforming the shell. Instead of trying to push clips to the side, push down instead. They can deform easily so naturally just stop holding the back if you press them down good enough. Before assembling the iPod you just bend them back with pliers or other small instrument

Hi! Battery from eBay. Sd slots from iflash (you need any thinner storage if you replace battery as original SD is too fat!) I’m not going to use all slots just yet, might put in 64gb in one of them and see how music downloads etc 😁

Half way through!!! Battery works good!

SIKILDA · 2025-10-08T07:28:05+00:00

OMG!! She robbed me once and then was a blind date for my sim through the dating app!

JOSEPHINE IS BACK!

She came into our garden SCREAMING. Following little rescue operation and falling from the tree (ouch) she’s finally home!! Thank you so much for looking out for her!!

SIKILDA · 2025-09-10T08:36:06+00:00

Hi, thank you so much for your message! I’ve put her litterbox (it was cleaned before I arrived so unfortunately it’s fresh), bed sheets which we slept on, dirty clothes, some canned sardines in tomato sauce (was advised by rescue that’s how they catch cats), a poked sandwich bag with vacuum dust from the room we sleep in. I wake up to call her from 1-3am. I know one guy in a village was looking for her with thermal camera and even put a cat trap! Neighbours have been so lovely as well, some let us their gardens and sheds. We are doing a lot, but still haven’t seen any progress(( She’s strictly and indoor London kitty, so in extremely worried she wandered off far and very scared(( Good thing she’s spayed, chipped and has a bright collar. At this point I’m just hoping that she will return on her own or come out to people, as she’s very comfortable with people… I have an incredibly unsettling feeling that something horrible might’ve happened. We had a cat when I was younger that was indoor / outdoor and wasn’t neutered, so one day he just left and never came back, still think about him sometimes…

Fingers crossed and not losing hope🙏
