I am at my wits end. My 11-year old male cat, Mozu, has developed an allergy to something in this apartment that causes him terrible itching. he is scratching and clawing at his ear until they are a bloody mess. he is also chewing the bottoms of his paws to get relief. I have put on of those collars on him to keep him from doing any more damage to himself but have no clue what he is allergic to. Been to the vets three times and they have given him cortisone shots that give him temporary relief but the itching comes back after the medicine is gone. We've changed his diet to all protein hypoallergenic food. I have even quit smoking thinking that it could be the cigarette smoke. I just don't know what else to do. I have been praying to St. Francis to hear my pleas and cure my little feline buddy because I just cannot deal with how miserable he is. He comes and jumps on my desk and stands in front of me looking me straight in the eye and starts to rub his face against mine so that he could scratch his nose. It is just pathetic. So please pray for my little buddy that his allergies go away or that I discover what he is allergic to. I cannot watch him suffer any longer. Thank you and God bless you all.
