Stessed out pussy

I got our second cat in May. I think that he was alittle young to be taken away from his mum at 7 weeks. But the people wanted the kittens gone. Nicky was quite stressed at the begining and displayed aggressive behaviour. attacking and biting anything that moved. 5 months on he is alot better and is turning into the most beautiful black cat with emerald green eyes. Lately we have noticed tiny bald patches on his heels and elbows and one of his joints on his front paw. There is no scabs or redness, just tiny pin dot baldness (looks like the moths have been at him) I was wondering if this could be a sign of stress. He hasn't got fleas and is regularly groomed. We have noticed that he does go alittle OTT with the cleaning. He is due to be neutered next month. We do have an older cat of 2 years. They do play together on occassions, but sometimes there is a display of bad language and fisty cuffs. Spotty was an orphan kitten of 10 days old and we bottled fed him through to 9 weeks old, he has been very spoilt too. So if anyone knows why Nicky is getting these patches-please let us know. I don't think its ringworm etc., as there is no redness etc., Looks abit like his skin is stretched over the bone parting the fur very strange!

Hi Tajie

You might want to re-post this on the forum for cats to see if anyone has more experience in the area and could help you. Hope it gets sorted soon.
