I think I've introduced Jose here before. He's one of the kitties that hangs around outside. He has warmed up to people enough that I can pet him while he's eating or out on the deck. I can't walk up to him in the yard though. Most of the time when I see him, he's sitting crouched on the deck waiting to be fed or eating. I'll pet him and talk to him while he and Julie eat. He's all black. Well the other day I saw him in the front of the house, which is a very rare occurrence. He was walking and I noticed something white on his legs. Of course I couldn't get close enough to touch it, so I had to observe at the next couple of feedings. Sure enough, it was a bald spot. The white was his skin showing through. I got home today and he was sleeping on the spa cover with Juliet. I called the vet's office and they said I could bring him in this afternoon after they were done with surgeries. Jose and I go to the vet where I get my first look at his belly also. He has a mohawk down the middle of it. He's licked his fur off both sides of his belly and small spots on his legs. Overgrooming/stress/somethingsomethingalopecia is the technical name the vet used. So he got a depo shot to help him feel happier and home we came. What do these kitties have to be stressed about?

Vacation, please come soon!
