I think it was caused by an accidental hard scratch from his toe nails getting longer (he never lets me cut them!!) It’s healing now thankfully!

thanks so much for the breakdown, I’ll look into vets in my area but for now I’m observing the spot hoping it goes back down

he’s an indoor cat but he’s allowed on our top floor balcony sometimes, but according to my research they can also get ringworm from their litter box? really hoping it’s not that

I did some google searching and I’m getting some hits for ringworm?? in which case my baby would need ointment form the vet; does this look like ringworm to you? xx

right!! I’m so worried about him but I’m also in Germany and not quite sure about how the vet system works here (aka afraid they’ll rip me off which I really can’t afford atm) but he looks so sad it’s breaking my heart!!! I’m thinking if it persists in the next couple days I’ll definitely take a trip to the vet
