My white cat Bobby had his ear amputated earlier this year as he had cancer. Recently we have noticed a dark flat mark appear on his nose. There has been a small mark there for the last 2 years, but recently it has gotten bigger. With him already having had cancer this year, I am worried he now has it in his nose. He is 10 years old and isn't showing any other symptoms except for the marks at this point.

Hi I have just noticed that my cat has a patch of hair missing on one of her ears and then skin underneath is sore and red. She is not acting any different but I’m am very concerned as to why this has happened. She is a Ragdoll mainly kept inside but she does come and explore in the garden when we are outside (mainly on sunny days) we have noticed that she does tend to stick to the shade but we are worried that it may be sunburn? Please do you have any advise or ideas as to what this may be and what is causing it?

He is very sensitive to anyone touching his head or ears, just noticed that they are very pink. I am thinking sunburn what can I put on it. It is not severe just enough to cause him discomfort.

From a young age I have always loved cats. They were so fluffy, cute, and loving. Many would say my interest grew into an obsession. Cat posters lined my room, I started staying home with my cat instead of going out with friends. Some say that the cats ruined me, but I don't see it like that. My wife may have left me, but cats never did. In a way, I felt like a cat. I held more in common with them, I got along with them, I did everything in life with them. Then finally I opened my eyes and realized the truth I had been missing. I WAS a cat. Now I know that some may laugh and think this absurd. That's okay, I fully expect that and don't care. But this is who I am. Once I embraced the lifestyle and my true self, I finally for once in my life felt alive! I started with simple things. I started eating and drinking out of a bowl. The second big event in my transformation was when I realized how hypocritical it was of me to go to the bathroom on a nice comfy toilet while cats had to sit on grain. I changed this problem by buying 382 bags of cat litter and filling an entire room with it. It has worked really well! The cats and I LOVE using it and it definitely has been a bonding experience:) . The last (and hardest) thing to change was my method of transportation. While walking on my two legs definitely was easier, I realized that I was just exhibiting common binary thought behavior. When I finally made the change it was life changing. Running around on all fours felt so natural! While a lot of my cats do tend to prefer staying indoors, I have to say that I'm more of an adventurous kitty ;) . I do love me some nice days in the great outdoors! Unfortunately, due to my way of life, transportation gets very hard. Driving a car became impossible and I have been stopped by numerous cops who say "it isn't acceptable behavior" to walk on all fours down the street and sidewalk. This has definitely been the hardest part. This cisnormative society that continually puts our kind in danger by not even recognizing our existence is always on my mind. Regardless, I think I have gotten a system down that works really well for me and my fellow cats! I have been getting everything delivered from Amazon since they do not discriminate against my lifestyle. This helps because I can stay put and continue my cat life. I spend my days playing outside and running free. Which brings me to this forum. Because I spend about 20 hours a day sleeping now (mostly outside), how do I prevent myself from getting absolutely destroyed by the sun:( . I have turned so red that the other cats have become afraid of me and hide all day. I'm starting to feel alone again just being my myself and this has to change! Does anyone have a suggestion besides regular sunscreen? I would really appreciate it!
