So my sister's cat has this really strange problem.
I will back up a little here. For those who don't know my sister and her family have a very sick child. Lorelei has been sick since she was 2 and she is 4 right now.
Now her cat Max has been a good boy but ever since Lorelei got sick he has started gnawing on himself. I am sure this is because he is not at the top of the list anymore. As it should be. Lorelei is very sick. He is a tri pod cat. he was born without a part of one leg. And when this first started he was gnawing on his stump. The vet said it was, oh shoot phantom limb I think? But he stopped and started doing it on his other leg. Now the wierd part is his lips are wearing away. I have never heard or seen such a thing. Now please my sister love's Max but they can't afford to take him to the vet right now. They have spent over a month just this year in the hospital and are focused on getting her better. I have talked to them about it and you can tell it is not because they don't care, Lore is the priority. I would offer to give them money for him but I am afraid they would take that wrong."Oh you will give us money for our cat, how about giving us money for our little girl?" Kind of a tough situation. Has anyone heard of this lip thing? It is like it is slowly reseding. But it is raw looking. I know this has got to be from lack of attention. He used to be the center of it.
