complete with what looks like piss staining,yummy
The cone of shame!
I noticed last week this thing on Indy's stomach - under the skin but on top of the muscle - about the size of a large fat sausage. It seems it was a long bit of infection - possibly from a thorn, or scratch, or fence - who knows.
He had to have an op to debride the muck and now has a seven stitch scar across his belly that looks like he has been chopped in two (as it is not through the muscle it is a lot better than it looks). And he has to wear the cone of shame for a week until the stitches come out. He is not happy!

I think you'll have an easy week, he looks perfectly happy with the situation.

Hairballs.
Watch the diet and watch their arses; not uncommon(though not frequent) to find a (usually dry, thank god) lump of poo dangling.
All our kittens had HUGE problems with matting on their necks, armpits and groins, until their adult coats came in - something that could crop up seemingly overnight; give them a good stroking one night and in the morning find a mat the size of your fist...
Usually sortable with a good brush.
Get a furminator, too!

Yup, you can't brush or comb them enough! I normally find fresh knots at bath time, despite daily brushing & combing.Watch the diet and watch their arses; not uncommon(though not frequent) to find a (usually dry, thank god) lump of poo dangling.
